PORT RICHMOND (WPVI) -- Philadelphia Police say a gunshot was fired during a robbery attempt at a toy store in Port Richmond.

It happened before 6:30 a.m. Monday at the Toys R Us store on East Ontario Street near Aramingo Avenue.

Investigators say an armed would-be robber surprised employees as they were preparing to open the store.

They refused to let him inside, so he fired the gunshot and took off.

No one was hurt.

Police are reviewing surveillance video as they work to track down the suspect.
