Pennsylvania authorities are investigating a shooting incident in Pennsylvania that left a victim and a suspect wounded.
According to authorities, the shooting took place on the 4200 block of E Cheltenham Avenue at 1:49 p.m. on Monday.
Responding officers with the 15th District located a 46-year-old man lying in the street at the intersection of Cheltenham Avenue and Erdick Street, police say.
According to authorities, the victim was suffering from gunshot wounds to his backside and left ankle and he was transported to Jefferson Torresdale Hospital, where he was listed in stable condition.
Investigators subsequently released a surveillance video in which the victim is seen wrestling with the first suspect before taking the firearm out of his hand to shoot a second suspect who approached and fired two shots that struck the victim.
“I remember hearing like pop, pop, pop, po,p pop, pop,” said Ricky Seck, owner of Ricky’s Place, who provided police with surveillance footage.
Seck says he was scared when gunfire started to erupt right outside his shop on Monday afternoon.
“Everybody’s afraid of gunshots,” he said. “We were afraid they’d run into the bar and shoot everybody in the bar, so for safety I had to lock both doors.”
According to investigators, the first suspect was attempting to rob the victim as he was standing on the sidewalk and the second suspect jumped in after seeing a struggle ensue.
Authorities say it appears that the victim struck the second suspect at least one time. Both suspects then fled in a dark-colored SUV going south on the 5400 hundred block of Edrick Street.
Anyone with information on the shooting is urged to contact Philadelphia police at 215-686-8477 or submit an anonymous tip here.
