“A toy gun-wielding teenager was shot in Philadelphia on Sunday night after allegedly attempting to rob a man who was carrying a loaded gun. Police said the 16-year-old and another suspect approached a man and his girlfriend on the 2200 block of Emerald Street at about 11 p.m. on Sunday, according to FOX 29 in Philadelphia. One of the suspects allegedly pressed a weapon into the man’s back before demanding his keys, wallet and other valuables. Unbeknownst to the suspects, the man they were robbing was armed with a legal firearm, police said, and he opened fire on the two suspects, striking the 16-year-old in the leg. A preliminary investigation found the weapon used by the teenager was a toy gun, which was recovered at the scene.” (10/02/24)
