PHILADELPHIA - Authorities say a suspected armed robber was shot and killed by a customer at a North Philadelphia corner store Wednesday afternoon.
Officers from the Philadelphia Police Department were called to the 1400 block of Master Street around noon for reports of a shooting.
A police source told FOX 29's Jennifer Joyce that two young men wearing masks entered the store and approached a man in his 23-year-old man waiting for a food order. One of the robbers hit the man in the head with the gun and a struggle began.
The robber handed the gun to his accomplice at which point law enforcement sources said the customer shot the armed robber twice in the abdomen.
The customer is licensed to carry a firearm, according to police sources.The suspect was taken to Temple University Hospital by responding officers but later succumbed to his injuries. The second robber fled the store after the shooting and has not been captured.
Law enforcement sources say the customer was released and is unlikely to be charged. The entire incident was captured on store surveillance that has already been turned over to investigators.

bigdeal 'This' is how crime in this country goes down immensely...one way or the other. There needs to be a whole lot more of this so that the garbage masquerading as humans eventually figure out that it isn't the cops they need to worry about anymore.

Kill all they send.
Predictably, the shit DA's will then try to go after the shooters.
