An armed would-be robber was shot and killed by his intended victim in West Philadelphia Sunday night, police said.
The man, between the ages of 25 and 30, tried to rob another person at gunpoint near 60th Street and Haverford Avenue around 8:30 p.m., police said. The intended victim then shot the man at least once, investigators said.
The shot man then ran to the 1200 block of North 60th Street where he collapsed on a porch. He was taken to the Penn Presbyterian Medical Center by police where he was pronounced dead a short time later.
A weapon was recovered.
The intended victim wasn't injured in the incident, which remained under investigation.
The incident was the second deadly shooting in West Philadelphia Sunday. A man was shot and killed by a gunman on the 5500 block of Pearl Street shortly after noon.
