Police say that the 40 year old deliveryman was making a delivery on the 1200 block of North 13th Street at about 10:30 PM, in Harrisburg, PA, when a pair of robbers punched him in the face and began beating him with a glass bottle, as part of a robbery attempt. The deliveryman is said to have grabbed his self defense gun and fired, striking one of the suspects and sending both fleeing. Police later apprehended a 16 year old male, who was suffering from a non-life-threatening gunshot wound to the shoulder, and charged the juvenile with robbery and conspiracy, according to news reports. Police are continuing to seek the second suspect.
