NORRISTOWN, PA — New details have emerged after two teenagers were found shot dead in Norristown on Friday night, the Montgomery County District Attorney's Office announced Saturday. A preliminary investigation reveals that the shooter was defending himself from an armed robbery.
"The man who shot the two
males was questioned then released, and has not been charged," District
Attorney Kevin Steele said. "We have a lot of work to do on this
investigation."
The incident occurred in an alley behind the 300 block of Warren Street at about 8 p.m.
The initial investigation reveals that the shooter, who has not been identified, was walking to his car from a nearby home when two teenagers approached him, police said.
The teens — both 17-year-old boys — tried to rob the shooter, pulling a gun on him, according to authorities. The three wrestled for control of the gun, and at some point the shooter used his own weapon — which was legally registered to him — to shoot both of the would-be robbers, the DA's office said.
