An employee at a restaurant in Georgia shot and killed an armed intruder in self-defense after being pistol-whipped during the attempted robbery.

Police in Warner Robins, Georgia say an armed and masked intruder entered an American Philly N Wings restaurant last week and demanded money from an employee before jumping over the counter and pistol whipping the worker, according to a report according to a report from WMAZ.

The employee was knocked to the ground and began fighting over the gun with the intruder, who police identified as 23-year-old Joshua Hickey, eventually pulling out his own legally owned pistol and fired at his attacker three times, striking him twice.

"Basically a male entered, later found to be Joshua Hickey, entered with a mask and a hood on. He did have a semi-automatic pistol," Sergeant Justin Clark told WMAZ. "The restaurant worker was struck, hit the ground. As he was coming back up, he drew his own legally-owned firearm and fired three shots at Mr. Hickey. Mr. Hickey was struck twice and fled on foot."

Officers were able to locate Hickey and transport him to the hospital, but he died of his wounds.

Why do they always preface “attempted” robbery? It’s an armed robbery. A robber. Not a “would be” robber either, another wretched phrase, though not as bad as “robbery gone bad”.

Notice they are careful to specify the victim has a “legally owned” gun, but they didn’t care to point out the robber in all likelihood has an illegal weapon, most likely a felon in possession to boot. It just seems strange the journalistic contortions they weave, when it’s actually easier to write clearly.

“I expect the restaurant worker to be arrested soon.”

Give it a rest. There is no indication at all that the worker is going to be arrested. Georgia is a stand your ground state, and is also a Constitutional Carry state, no carry license required.

The mug shot is evidence he wasn’t a first time offender.

Good. The left wants perps to waltz right in and take what they want from their “oppressors”. And they are ok if the perp kills you.

I’ve noticed with more and more in these cases, the perps aren’t satisfied with just getting the money. They’ll severely injure or kill the victims now. I’m sure this being encouraged by wokeness, CRT, and soft on crime leftists.
