An armed man who allegedly tried to rob a mobile phone store in Philadelphia on Monday was shot and killed by an employee in a dramatic moment captured on video.

The Philadelphia Police Department said the incident happened just after 4 p.m. at a Metro PCS store in the southwest part of the city when an unidentified man who appeared to be in his late 30s entered the business.

The man was trying to rob the store when the lone employee inside – who has a permit to carry a firearm – fired at the would-be robber multiple times, striking him.

"I heard about 10 shots and I got out (of) the car to look around and I saw the guy that works there run out of the store with a gun in his hand," a man who wished to not be identified told FOX29.

Police said the robber was pronounced dead at the scene minutes later.
