A manhunt is underway after a student at Pennsylvania State University was shot and killed on Saturday in a potential armed robbery attempt.

Billy Schmidt, 22, was blocks away from his home in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, on Saturday at around 1:30 a.m. when he was shot and killed, according to the Philadelphia Police Department. When officers arrived, the college student was found on the street with a gunshot wound to his chest.

Police said Billy Schmidt was taken to a local hospital and pronounced dead at 1:47 a.m.
Security video given to police shows Schmidt asking for his phone back before several shots were heard that killed the college student. It shows a man throwing a cellphone before another individual can be seen running around a corner being chased by Billy Schmidt, who was then shot in the chest.

Billy Schmidt was a senior at Pennsylvania State University, where he was set to graduate in December.

"He was a really good person who cared about everybody and never hurt or bothered a soul, never bothered anyone and for him to get shot like that is a travesty," Bill Schmidt said. "I'm shocked when they stole his phone that he chased them."

I’m a psu grad. It’s true that when some ppl drink there they get absolutely fucking RETARDED. Like doing this shit, throwing each other down stairs or catching rape charges. But I mostly drank by myself :dizzy:

In states where the citizens have a hard time being armed. The criminals have an easy time doing crime.

The book of Enoch says this man is in a resting place for the wrongfully murdered on earth.
Looks like there's gonna be a lot of white people in that resting place.

If someone steals your phone at gunpoint, you don't chase after them to get it back, that'll get you shot. What you do instead is purchase a handgun, get your concealed carry permit and hit the range. Sad this young man didn't make the right choice in this situation.

@L.X Move to a state with constitutional carry. Sometimes that's easier than getting a ccw.

Dude I know back in Maryland worked for his brother and regularly had $10k bank deposits for the after hours drop box. He tried for two years to get a ccw and after tons of boolshite he was finally denied.

Apparently Maryland would rather see you murdered and robbed than afford you a defensive weapon.
