Today is Thursday. It is May 12th. Good morning, Kathy.

Good morning. In the news this morning, a man shot and killed a bicyclist who police believed tried to rob him in front of his home in South Philadelphia on Wednesday night. It happened at 1130 along the 2200-clock of South 6th Street near West Wyoming Avenue, Moiamensing Avenue. Investigators said a 24-year-old man was smoking a cigarette in front of his house when another man on a bicycle approached him with a gun and announced a robbery. Police say the 24-year-old pulled out his own

handgun and fired one shot as the other man was stepping off of the bicycle. Arriving officers

found the cyclist on the sidewalk with a single shot to his head. The male suspect lost consciousness

while medics were rushing him to Jefferson

University Hospital. He was later pronounced dead around 2 a.m. on Thursday, according to police.

Investigators said that the bicycle has also fired his weapon during the shooting. According to

the 24-year-old who fired the shot, the perpetrator, after being shot in the head, pulled his

gun and fired one or two shots, but did not strike the 24-year-old who fired the initial shot, said the Philadelphia Police Chief Inspector Scott Small.

Small said the 24-year-old does have a valid license to carry a gun and that officers recovered both weapons.

Investigators said they are working to gather any possible video surveillance of the incident.
