The incident happened between North Second and Third streets, around 11 p.m. near the 200 block of Herr Street, police said.

Police said one of the teens pointed a gun at the head of Bizzarro, moments before the suspects and Flynn exchanged gunfire.

"Shots were exchanged between the suspects and the victim and the robbery suspects then fled the area. The suspects were located a few blocks away and were positively identified by the victims. A third suspect, who was in their company, was charged as an accomplice in the robbery. A fourth, Zha-Quan McGhee was arrested at his home, after a follow up investigation," according to the news release.

Police did not say which teen pointed the gun at the victim's head or which one fired at the representatives. The gun used in the robbery was recovered by police.

All four teens have been charged as adults, police said.
