A man armed with a gun and wearing a ski mask entered the Junior Food Store in Villa Rica, Ga. and demanded that the clerk on duty open the register. When the criminal’s attention turned to the cash in the register, the clerk retrieved a gun and shot the criminal, killing him.
Following the incident, the armed clerk received support from the community, with one customer referring to the store’s employees as, “the nicest people you could want to meet.” The clerk has not been charged. (The Times-Georgian, Carroll County, Ga. 06/26/13)
