Da thugs demanded money, and were refused. THEN one of da thugs pulled a gun and started shooting.

It may be there somewhere in the police reports / news reports (and in that case it might also be one party's version, of course) -- but I haven't seen that timeline established, so maybe you can point me.

-- Ah, pardon me, this other report does say:

But Eells was no easy mark. He refused to hand over money and the teenager started firing. Eells was hit in the stomach, but returned fire with his own handgun, striking the teen in the leg and torso, according to police. The teen’s accomplices ran away. Eells and Thompson were both taken to Temple University Hospital. ... The bullet passed through his body but doctors made an 8-inch incision to repair his internal organs.

Dunno, the sequence seems a little odd to me. I'm sure the police will be investigating thoroughly.
