At some point, an exchange of gunfire occurred between the two men and the store employee, police said.
One of the suspects was shot several times in the head and upper body. According to police, he was pronounced dead at the scene.

“What I saw was a guy lying on the ground. Blood. The owner’s son said he had to shoot him because the guy was shooting at him. He said he had to respond in self-defense,” Bill Hackett of Frankford told the outlet.
The deceased suspect has not yet been identified by police.
The Post contacted the Philadelphia Police Department for additional information.
