    Police are searching for two suspects who crashed into a SEPTA bus after a fatal shootout inside a corner store in the Philadelphia's Mantua section. The incident left one person dead and another injured.

    It happened at around 10 p.m. on Wednesday at 40th and Brown streets.

    Investigators said the tables were turned on a 17-year-old who was shot multiple times while he was allegedly trying to rob a man inside a corner store.

    That teenager survived, but the man was shot and killed.

    All of it was seen on surveillance video.

    "You can see our initial shooting victim who died inside the store playing one of the video machines and that's when clearly two males enter the store, and it appears to be a robbery," said Chief Inspector Scott Small.

    Small said there's then a struggle between the victim and suspects.

    "It appears that the victim who died pulled his weapon and there was an exchange of gunfire," Small said.

    Investigators said the victim was shot and killed during the shooting inside the store.

    The two suspects jumped into a getaway car, described as a Mazda, driven by a third person, police said.

    That car is then seen by city-owned cameras going the wrong way down Brown Street.

    It crashed head-on into a SEPTA bus about a half a block away, police said.

    The three people inside the car ran from the scene, but police said they later found a 17-year-old nearby with gunshot wounds to the arm and chest.

    They believe he was one of the suspects inside the store.

    Police rushed him to hospital, where he is being treated and held as a prisoner.

    Investigators are still searching for two suspects who ran from the car.

    The SEPTA driver and the eight passengers onboard were not injured, according to police.

    The bus has cameras that point to the street, so detectives are working to pull that footage.

    The victim has not yet been identified.
