PHILADELPHIA -- Philadelphia police are investigating after a great grandfather was shot and killed just after he got cash out of the ATM on Thursday night.It happened around 8:20 p.m. at the Citizens Bank vestibule area near Germantown and Chelten avenues in the city's Germantown section.
"It's difficult to see a senior citizen trying to take money out and get killed. He wasn't shot, he wasn't just robbed, he died," said resident Michael Cogbill of Germantown. Several people declined to speak with Action News on camera because they were afraid. Those who did said the bank wasn't always at this corner.
"I'm trying to stay strong for all of them my sister I don't want her to see me like this it's really tough to do," said Alston-Haywood.
