Several would-be robbers got an impromptu lesson in the Second Amendment outside a supermarket in suburban Atlanta, all thanks to the fact that they messed with the wrong couple.
According to WSB-TV, the men were shot after approaching a couple outside of a Kroger in Decatur, Georgia, on Friday.
Details are still sketchy, but police say the men followed the pair out of the store just after 4 p.m. and tried a robbery of some sort. That’s when one of the targets pulled out a gun and shot the men.
“It was chaos,” one witness said.
“I saw the guy was shot. I saw him on the floor, shot.”
Of the three individuals who were hit, it was unclear whether all of them were suspects. The Atlanta Journal-Constitution and WXIA-TV were reporting, as of early Sunday morning, that all three wounded individuals were suspects. WSB, meanwhile, reports that two of those shot were suspects and one was a bystander.
Either way, police say the three men were involved in some sort of criminal activity.
“We believe that there may have been some sort of crime that was intended to happen at that time, whether it was a robbery or a carjacking, we really don’t know right now,” Shiera Campbell, DeKalb County police spokeswoman, told WSB.
The police have identified two of the suspects: Andrew Banks, 23, and Austin Harris, 18. The third individual has not been identified. One of them sought treatment at a hospital while two were transported from the scene.
“(The suspect) was conscious, but there was a lot of blood. There was a trail of blood. He must have dragged himself into Kroger,” one of the witnesses said.

No, people were lucky that the robbery victims were good shots.
There, fixed the sentence.
Good news to start the day. Thanks.
I’m surprised the witness didn’t say it was “surreal”
We’re hoping for constitutional carry one day.
If the “Good Guys” are smart, they’ll lawyer up immediately and say nothing other than “I feared for my life” or “they was gonna kill me”.
In New Jersey, and a number of other states, they’d be in custody right now. Self-defense is highly frowned upon here.
“Surreal”...
Has this word been nominated yet for the annual list of Banished Words by Lake Superior State University?
“When in doubt fire warning shots into the torso.”
That’ll teach his spleen not to mess with you...
“There was a great risk of people being shot and a great risk of being killed,” Campbell told WSB. “People are lucky that no one else was hit.”
I really hate it when LEO plays to the left. Maybe the “targets” should have just gone quietly.
Idiot.
