DEKALB COUNTY, Ga. -- A father protecting his family during a hold up shot and killed a robber late Thursday night.
The family of four had just returned home from a school recital. After parking in their driveway the family was walking up the front walk at their house on Stardust Circle when three robbers stopped them.
During the confrontation the father pulled out a gun and opened fire, killing one of the robbers. The other men ran off.
"It was a home invasion, but this time the invasion was on the other foot," said one neighbor.
The neighbor says the wounded man died in the family's yard and the other two men fled on foot.
That same neighbor told police that she heard her dog attack one of the robbers as he ran through her backyard.
Police have not released the names of anyone involved.
Officers continued searching for the surviving robbers.

Maybe a different outcome at that shopping mall in NE if a CCW citizen like this father were around to terminate the nutjob shooter.

I like that phrase “searching for surviving” robbers.

i cant tell if the neighbor was trying to be clever with what he said, or just had no idea.

A solid black neighborhood. What a shock, the strong black family makes a statement. Not surprised here at all.

Just back from a school recital. Does that mean he was carrying in a school and nobody was killed there?
