NBC Philadelphia ^

A would-be victim turned the tables on an armed robber in Chester, shooting and killing him, police said.

The unidentified man was getting out of his vehicle on the 500 block of West Seventh Street around 1 a.m. Wednesday when he was approached by two robbers, police said. When one of the robbers pulled out a gun and fired two shots, the man pulled out his own weapon and returned fire, according to investigators.

“It was loud and it sounded like it was real close,” said Kyle Roane, a neighbor of the victim who heard the gunshots.

Police continue to search for the second robber but have not yet released a detailed description of him.

Wonder why?
They did let slip it was a "him". How sexist! /s

Good. This is what the libs don’t want to happen. They want the ‘oppressed’ underclass to waltz in and take whatever they want because it’s ‘rightfully’ theirs.

Presenting facts in a case like this is only possible with local newscasts (sometimes):

The black interviewees were all OK with the self-defense incident using a firearm.

The national media will/would ignore this fact or twist it to make the guns the problem in the first place. Seen this kind of twist done many times.

My hometown, I grew up on the 300 block of East 7th St. How times have changed for the worst. The shooting took place, near the High School.

Chester is a War Zone now!
