Concealed Permit Holder Shoots, Kills Alleged Robber in Philadelphia Store

A customer shot and killed an alleged robber in a Philadelphia corner store Wednesday around 12:30 p.m.

6 ABC reports that the customer “is licensed to carry.”

CBS Philadelphia notes that police indicate the customer shot the alleged robber twice. The wounded suspect was transported to a hospital where he died within the hour.

Philadelphia witnessed a surge in homicides in 2021 to such a degree that the city broke its annual homicide record.
