PHILADELPHIA (CBS) — Temple University is mourning the loss of a student. According to Philadelphia police, 21-year-old Samuel Sean Collington, from Prospect Park, Pennsylvania, was shot twice in the chest and later died at the hospital on Sunday afternoon.

The shooting happened in the 2200 block of North Park Avenue around 1:32 p.m. in North Philadelphia.

Sources tell CBS3 Collington, a Liberal Arts student, was killed during an attempted robbery.

Those sources said Collington struggled with the suspect before being shot.

“I live on the next hundred and I have sons too,” neighbor Jenna Jones told CBS3. “Right on the block, a young student, that’s kind of surprising.”

waiting at a Septa bis stop. Unreal.
