Police are investigating a robbery gone bad that started over a Playstation 3 game console and ended with gunfire, investigators say.

Police say Michael Tsilianos, 22, was selling the game console near W Boyer Street to a would-be buyer around 4:15 p.m. Saturday when the man, who looked in his mid 20s, pulled a gun and took the Playstation.

But Tsilianos was also armed. Police say as the suspect fled with an unidentified woman, Tsilianos pulled a .38 caliber handgun and fired two shots.

Police say a canine unit tracked the suspects to an area southeast of the crime scene, but the trail went cold. Police say the suspects may have left in a vehicle.

The circumstances of the incident are still being investigated.

A new Playstation 3 retails for about $300.
