Two armed men chose the wrong place to attempt a robbery Monday morning, when an employee at the Cobb County gun shop confronted them and shot one dead at the scene, Cobb County police said.
The two men entered Dixie Gun and Pawn at 11 a.m. and attempted to rob the business.
A store employee happened to be armed and exchanged gunfire with the men, striking one of them. The robbery suspect died at the scene, police said.
The other suspect fled on foot. Police said Monday afternoon they have no information about him.
The worker was not injured and the case remains under investigation.
That’s what you call calm under pressure/instinct shooting.
Excellent video - I watched it twice!
Bad day for Shitavious.
He sure dropped BOTH those guns in a hurry.
I guess he must have seen the two-gun thing in a Spike Jones’ movie.
Yup, Perp A was dead before he hit the ground.
Looks like a 1911. I’d say the first shot was right in the T-zone, by the way homie dropped. Lights out!!
Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.
Thanks for the laugh!
Da’quaon got hit good.
A friend of mine owned a coin, card, and comic book shop before he passed. I did some PM business with him over the years and got to know him pretty well.
One day a man walked in and just opened fire. When the gunfight was over my friend was very badly wounded and the perp was dead. The entire incident was caught on video. It was over in less than 8 seconds.
From that day forward he always had 3 pistols, all of them S&W Model 686s. All were within easy reach behind the counter.
I miss him.

Good shootin’, Pops!
Has anybody ever been in a gun store where the employees are not armed?
The suspect’s stupidity was terminal -and now he’s cured.
the case remains under investigation.
= = = = = = = =
The only ‘investigation’ should be why is #2 still breathing our air.
Must be quite an experience to find yourself in Hell before your body even hits the ground.
Never!
But these fine gentlemen who attempted to rob this store found out that there's more to shooting then quick drawing in front of a mirror.
The owner kept shooting after he was down—probably overkill. The dumb perp had one gun out and was pulling the second from his pants. No way he could have had any control. Happy ending all around.
After he shot several times at Perp A and turned to shoot at Perp B, his adrenalin must of been flowing hard.
