The suspect pulled out a handgun and pointed the 9mm towards the officers. One officer then discharged their weapon, striking the teen once in the shoulder.
The gun was recovered at the scene and police were able to apprehend the suspect.
The teen was treated and released from Temple University Hospital and is now in police custody. His records came up as a missing juvenile. It has not been determined if he will be charged as an adult or juvenile.
