Philadelphia authorities are on the lookout for a suspect and a black Nissan believed to be involved in a shooting incident at a red light. The incident, which occurred in Philadelphia, was described by investigators as a planned robbery targeting two ATM workers, according to sources cited by NEWS.ORG 29’s Steve Keeley.

The Incident

Dashcam footage captured the moment when a passenger exited a black Nissan at a red light and approached the victim’s vehicle. Armed with a handgun, the gunman swiftly approached the victim’s car before abruptly returning to the Nissan and firing at least two shots at the vehicle.

Victim’s Response

The victim, identified as a licensed firearm carrier, promptly returned fire as the Nissan fled down Old York Road. Despite being struck once in the stomach, the victim’s quick response likely prevented further harm.

Targeted Robbery

Authorities suspect that the victims, who were employees of a Willow Grove-based ATM company, were transporting a substantial amount of cash – approximately $100,000. The nature of the attack suggests it was a targeted robbery attempt gone awry.

Victim’s Condition

The 31-year-old driver, critically wounded in the shooting, was rushed to the hospital for medical attention. Fortunately, the passenger in the victim’s vehicle escaped unharmed.

Conclusion: Stay Vigilant

Incidents like these serve as a reminder of the importance of remaining vigilant, particularly in high-risk situations. Law enforcement officials continue their efforts to apprehend the suspect and urge anyone with information to come forward promptly.
