Police: Man killed, teen hurt during attempted robbery aboard Broad Street Line SEPTA train

A man is dead and a teenager is injured after police say an attempted robbery aboard a Broad Street Line SEPTA train escalated to gunfire Monday afternoon. 

Officers from the Philadelphia Police Department were called to the Fairmount SEPTA station on Broad Street and Fairmount Avenue just before 3 p.m. for reports of a shooting. 

Police found a 21-year-old man suffering from nearly a dozen gunshot wounds to the body, according to police. He was taken to Temple Hospital where police say he died. 

A 16-year-old boy with a non-fatal gunshot wound to the arm was taken to Jefferson Hospital and placed in stable condition. 

During the robbery, investigators said the victim pulled out his own gun and may have fired at the suspect. Several people were aboard the train during the robbery-turned-shooting.

FOX 29's Shawnette Wilson reports that police are reviewing surveillance footage that they say shows the shooter going through the victim's pockets. 

The victim, according to police, was close to his 22nd birthday when he was gunned down.
