PHILADELPHIA - Police say a robber is dead after being shot by the man he was trying to rob in South Philadelphia Wednesday night.
A 24-year-old man was smoking a cigarette outside his house on the 2200 block of South 6th Street when a man approached on a bicycle, according to police.

A bicycle can be a valuable tool to commit crimes. It is hard to trace, quiet, and makes foot pursuit difficult.
The article could be more precise, as it was unclear, at first, if the robber was on the bike or not. As with many stories, this appears to be an automatically produced transcript of a broadcast.

He needs a valid permit to carry on his own property?

Happy ending to start the week.
Vinnie needs to lose the cigarettes, though.

Was the bike registered, how many more did he own and was it a 10 speed?

Sounds like the 24yo has some quality range time under his belt. Good job young man, you’ve made America just a little more safe.

Self defense clinic right there. One shot, lights out. Good shot placement, great situational awareness. REALLY BAD journalism.

A 10-speed bike? No one needs that many speeds. We need sensible gear control. 😜

So the robber pulled his piece after he was shot in the head...?I know, right? What passes for reporters these days -- they have to strain to turn their presentation of facts into a pretzel to make it seem like the homeowner was somehow in the wrong. Facts are stubborn things.
