Police say a suspect has been arrested after he was shot with his own gun by a man he was attempting to rob in East Mount Airy on Wednesday.
The Philadelphia Police Department is investigating a shooting where an attempted robbery victim gained control over a suspect and shot him.
According to police, the attempted robbery occurred on the 8000 block of Rodney Street in a driveway at 11:24 a.m. Authorities say a 69-year-old man was unloading groceries from his car when a 24-year-old suspect approached him, saying, "This is a robbery," and pointed a gun at him. After a struggle over the weapon ensued, the victim was able to gain control of the gun, which discharged one time, grazing the suspect in the abdomen, according to police. Police say they do not believe the victim was targeted during the incident, and say the suspect was likely just "cruising" the neighborhood.MORE LOCAL HEADLINES
