A man robbed multiple customers at gunpoint inside a Philadelphia corner store — then one customer returned with a gun and a shootout ensued, police said Monday night. The gunfire left the robbery suspect and the gun-toting victim in critical condition.

It happened around 10 p.m. on the corner of Germantown Avenue and Diamond Street.

Philadelphia Police Inspector D F Pace said a man dressed all in black entered the store wielding a gun and began pointing it at customers, demanding they hand over their belongings. Pace said the man robbed three people and left the store before lingering outside.
