Chalk up another 1 foe the good guys. This has to be like the 5-6 thug killed by their intended victim so far this year.

PHILADELPHIA (WPVI) -- Police are investigating after a would-be robber was shot and killed Wednesday in North Philadelphia.

The incident happened around 12:30 p.m. on the 1400 block of Master Street.

Officials say a male suspect pulled a gun and tried to rob the store.

That's when a customer inside the store reportedly shot the suspect twice in the abdomen.

Police originally stated the owner of the store fired the shots at the would-be robber.

The customer is licensed to carry, according to officials.

The suspect was rushed to Temple University Hospital by police, where he died from his injuries.

Officials say a second armed suspect managed to escape during this incident.

Anyone with information is asked to contact police.

The only thing wrong with that story is that they rushed the perp to the hospital. They should have just left him expire right there.

And queue Larry Krasner who will now bend the law to charge the customer.

I fully expect Larry to come out with a message to the public that if they try defend themselves they're just adding to the problem and causing needless deaths.

Good shoot. Nice double tap for the win.

My thoughts exactly.

Agreed, but there is a second thing wrong and that is that the second armed suspect got away. Sad really.

Died of two pistol shots to the abdomen? I'm.guessing they took their time getting him to the hospital. They can't very well say the first responders took their sweet time can they. Either that or the perp got unlucky with a major artery.
