A would-be robber shot a man in the stomach on a Frankford street last Wednesday after the victim refused to surrender his cash, police say.
The victim, identified only as a man in his 50s, told police he was walking home on the 1200 block of Bridge St. at about 8 p.m. when an unknown man approached him and demanded his money at gunpoint. The man refused, so the robber shot him once in the stomach, according to police.

A police spokeswoman did not have information on his latest condition. ••
