From MyFoxPhilly:

“Game Stops have been a target for robberies in the area so officers sign in to a log book after they check out high crime areas. The cops from the 22nd District were inside the store checking in when two male suspects entered the store firing guns.

According to the source, there was a gunfire exchange between the suspects and an officer.

The exact details surrounding the shooting are still unclear.”
