A similar incident unfolded in Philadelphia in November when a customer stopped by a takeout restaurant where a 53-year-old man was robbing the store at gunpoint. The customer walked in on the attempted robbery seemingly unaware of what was taking place. The robber then demanded the customer hand over his cell phone. The customer pulled his legally owned firearm out and shot the suspect, killing him. (Read more from “Armed Citizen Shoots Would-Be Robber Dead at Restaurant” HERE)
