LISTEN TO THIS STORY

PHILADELPHIA, PA (1-minute read) — A security guard at Treasures Banquet Hall in Philadelphia’s Germantown Avenue area fatally shot a man who reportedly attacked him with a knife on Tuesday evening. The incident unfolded around 8:15 p.m., prompting a police response to reports of a person armed with a firearm.

Upon arrival, officers discovered a man suffering from a gunshot wound to the chest as well as multiple self-inflicted stab wounds. Emergency responders transported the injured man to Jefferson Einstein Hospital, where he was later pronounced dead.

Authorities say the confrontation began when the man, armed with a knife, allegedly charged at the security guard. In a defensive act, the guard fired his firearm, neutralizing the threat. No arrests have been made, and the incident remains under investigation by the Homicide Unit.

Safety Tip: When using firearms for self-defense, always be aware of your surroundings and ensure you have a clear line of sight to avoid unintended harm. Regularly review firearm safety protocols to act responsibly in high-stress situations.
