    Default Police: Employee Shoots, Kills Robbery Suspect In Levittown

    LEVITTOWN, Pa (CBS) — A would-be robber is dead and another man is in custody after an attempted hold-up at a Bucks County pharmacy.

    Falls Township Police Lieutenant Henry Ward says this would be robbery unfolded around 10 a.m. at the newly opened Pennsbury Pharmacy on New Falls Road, near Hood Boulevard. He says a van with two men inside pulled up to the pharmacy.

    The passenger got out with a mask on his face and a shot gun in his hands.

    “The owner is in the pharmacy, sees the man coming in with the shotgun and the mask, figures out what’s going on. The uh, employee is armed with a handgun inside the store. Once the perpetrator points the shotgun at the owner, the owner then begins to fire, striking the actor numerous times. He’s deceased inside the store.”

    Police say one of the men attempted to rob the store, but an employee pulled his own handgun and shot the suspect at close range.

    He was pronounced dead a short time later.

    The owner then pulled a silent alarm alerting police, who arrived two minutes later. They quickly apprehended the would be getaway driver who was still waiting outside the pharmacy for his partner.

    “The get-away driver is inside the van and must not have heard the shooting, and doesn’t realize that it just happened, the owner was then able to hit his armed holdup alarm and call 911 to say what happened. Our officers were on scene in under 2-minutes. They were able to surround the van out front. They took him into custody without incident.”

    I liked the fact they are charging the driver with homicide, saying he contributed to the robbers death. Im also very happy to hear the DA didn't waste any time, and labeled this a justified shooting.
