A store was robbed on the 3400 block of Germantown Avenue, near the Health Sciences Campus around 12:45 p.m.
Charlie Leone, executive director of Campus Safety Services, said a suspect was armed with a gun, which he showed to the store clerk before taking cigarettes and $150.
The suspect fled east on Russell Street, Leone said.
There were no injuries reported, and no Temple-affiliated people were involved.
