Narrative:
As we climbed through approximately 11500 ft MSL we heard a loud bang; and the aircraft began vibrating. The engine gauges were indicating abnormally; so we proceeded to run the abnormal engine indication checklist. When that was complete; we observed the 'right fuel press' light and the 'right oil press' light. We then ran the engine failure in-flight checklist and the shutdown checks. I declared an emergency and a successful landing was made in ZZZ. After landing; we viewed the right engine and noticed the right engine turbine blades were damaged.
