The detective was off duty. Just another armed citizen.
According to police, two men entered Rising Sun Pizza late Thursday night and announced a robbery. One of the men placed a revolver at the head of the lone customer, an unidentified Philadelphia detective, and ordered him to the floor.
Police said the robbers stole $20 from the detective before turning their attention toward the restaurant’s two employees.
“That’s when the detective drew his firearm and identified himself as a police officer,” police officials said. One of the suspects then fired his weapon — which turned out to be loaded only with blanks — at the detective who shot back.
