Robert Eells, 21, of Chalfont, Bucks County, was sitting with at least
one friend in front of their home in the 2300 block of North 12th Street
shortly before 2 a.m. when three assailants approached and demanded
money. When Eells failed to comply, the assailants opened fire,
police said. Eells, struck in the stomach, fired a couple of rounds
toward the would-be robbers, wounding one suspect, a 15-year-old boy, in
the chest and a leg. The 15-year-old was charged by police; his name was not released. The other suspects fled north on 12th. The
teenager will face charges of aggravated and simple assault, robbery,
and possibly attempted murder, said police spokeswoman Tanya Little. She said Eells had a license to carry a firearm and probably would not be charged. "As far as the investigation stands now, I don't believe so. He was acting in self-defense," she said. "If you do have a permit, that would be the time to use your weapon, when someone tries to rob you and shoots you," she said.
