    ATLANTA, Georgia (AP) -- When two men walked into a popular country store outside Atlanta, announced a holdup and fired a shot, owners Bobby and Gloria Doster never hesitated. The pair pulled out their own pistols and opened fire. The armed suspect and his partner were killed. The Dosters won't be charged, according to local officials, because they were acting in self-defense. "I just started shooting," said Gloria Doster, 56. "I was trying to blow his brains out is what I was trying to do."
