A toy gun-wielding teenager was shot in Philadelphia on Sunday night after allegedly attempting to rob a man who was carrying a loaded gun.
Police said the 16-year-old and another suspect approached a man and his girlfriend on the 2200 block of Emerald Street at about 11 p.m. on Sunday, according to FOX 29 in Philadelphia.
One of the suspects allegedly pressed a weapon into the man’s back before demanding his keys, wallet and other valuables.
Unbeknownst to the suspects, the man they were robbing was armed with a legal firearm, police said, and he opened fire on the two suspects, striking the 16-year-old in the leg.

A preliminary investigation found the weapon used by the teenager was a toy gun, which was recovered at the scene.
“Having been pressed into the victim’s back, there would have been no way for them to know that,” Philadelphia Police Inspector DF Pace told the station.
