Authorities say an employee of a Bridesburg storage facility was seriously injured when he was shot during a robbery Monday night.
The violent incident happened at around 7 p.m. inside Good Deal Self Storage, on the 5400 block of Eadom Street, near the I-95 overpass, according to police.
Investigators believe a male suspect entered the building, pulled out a gun and announced a robbery. Even though the employee complied, opened the register and handed over cash, the robber opened fire, the PPD stated.
Law enforcement officials said the 57-year-old worker was struck multiple times in his upper body. He was rushed to Jefferson Torresdale Hospital in critical condition, police added.
Detectives said the shooter hopped on a minibike and fled south on Eadom Street. Anyone with information is asked to call or text the PPD’s tip line at 215-686-TIPS (8477).
