The Georgia Bureau of Investigation is beginning 2019 with a new case of a deadly police shooting.

A man was fatally shot by an off-duty officer at a liquor store near Stone Mountain late New Year’s Eve, according to the GBI. DeKalb County police requested the state agency’s assistance on Tuesday.

The officer, who is a member of the Pine Lake police force, was working security at Big John’s Package Store on Memorial Drive when a man entered with a gun around 11 p.m. and told everyone to get on the ground, GBI spokeswoman Nelly Miles said.

The Democrats do see this.
That is why the citizens ‘ refusal to be dissarmed has them seething.
It is hard for them to repeat the exploits of German and Russian Socialists against an armed populace.

We had a situation here in Polk County, FL where a man stopped an Uber driver and approached the car saying he had a gun. The Uber driver was carrying and dropped the guy just as fast.

Our wonderful sheriff, Grady Judd, said this was a perfect case of stand your ground. No hand wringing here.

"Considering the number of people in the store at the time, that was a risky shooting......"

And that is relevant...why?

Just an observation.....If you watch the video closely, one of his rounds went thru a row of bottles aimed at the perp while the guy in the blue shirt was trying to get out the front door. Could easily have hit him.

I'm not condemning the shooter by any stretch of the imagination but he was lucky he didn't hit any one of the other people who were in the store........

That's why my comment is RELEVANT......

Sorry you got triggered..........

Agree. There are things worse than war, and also worse than death. Slavery and torture come readily to mind, which is why Patrick Henry said what he said.
