From Atlanta, Georgia<\/a>;<\/p>\n

Atlanta police tell news outlets the shooting happened Tuesday night, when a driver delivering Chinese food was stopped by two women in northeast Atlanta and two men then approached from behind.<\/p>\n

Police say one of the men shot the driver in the back. The victim returned fire, hitting one of the men in the leg. Officers arrested that man a short distance away from the initial scene.<\/p>\n

Police are looking for the two women and the other man.<\/p>\n

Both the driver and the arrested suspect suffered not life-threatening injuries.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

From Citrus County, Florida<\/a>;<\/p>\n

\u201cI heard the door being forced back and forth, so I went to get my gun,\u201d [Israel] Reyes said on Tuesday afternoon. \u201cI opened the door, and I saw the guy in the entryway, and I drew my weapon and asked, \u201cWho are you? What are you doing? Put your hands up — I have a gun.\u201d<\/p>\n

However, he said, the suspect did not stop or act in fear.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe guy immediately acted like he was holding a rifle and screaming to \u2018get down,\u2019\u201d Reyes said. \u201cI fired three shots warning him to leave, but he kept trying to come through the door, so I shot three more shots.\u201d<\/p>\n

The suspect walked into the front yard \u201cscreaming he was special forces,\u201d according to Reyes, who added that the man said his whole squad was surrounding the home to get \u201calienated dogs.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI drew the gun on him and made sure nobody else was out here, and then I spoke with the 911 operator,\u201d Reyes said. \u201cI told them he was saying he was hit everywhere, so when EMTs came they cut off his clothes looking for any injuries, and there were no wounds.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Jennifer Wertz, the Circle K clerk in Albuquerque, New Mexico <\/a>who shot a robber the other day says that she’d do it again, even though her employer suspended her for two weeks.<\/p>\n

Wertz put her gun in her pocket after she heard that another nearby convenience store was just robbed. She said she was not behind the counter when a man barged in with a gun.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are not to chase or provoke. We are just supposed to stand there and give them what they want and they leave,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

\u201cSo why didn’t you do that yesterday?\u201d Cruz asked.<\/p>\n

\u201cI’m sick and tired of being a sitting duck,\u201d Wertz said. \u201cHe pointed the gun at my face, I grabbed my gun from my pocket, I cocked it and I shot.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

From Cocoa, Florida<\/a>;<\/p>\n

This is the fifth time that store owner has used his gun in defense of his store and himself.<\/p>\n

Store owner Sowann Suy temporarily closed his store after another shooting.<\/p>\n

Suy said he fired a warning shot at a man after the attempted thief tried to beat him up and steal some beer.<\/p>\n

A witness said the man came out of the door with a beer in each pocket, and Sowann was right behind him with his gun.<\/p>\n

“I told him to give my beer back, and he ignored it. I pointed a gun at him, and he gave me my beer back, and I shot one bullet in the air,” Suy said.<\/p>\n

Rescuers airlifted the first would-be robber shot by Sowann in 2009.<\/p>\n

“He had a perfect right to defend himself; everyone does,” said Barbara Matthews, with the Cocoa Police Department.<\/p>\n

In 2010, surveillance video shows Suy, gun in hand, chasing another thief, and in 2016, he shot pictures on his phone of a third robber lying on the ground with three of Sowann\u2019s bullets in him.<\/p>\n

“People are lazy; don\u2019t want to work. They want easy stuff. That\u2019s not right. You live in the United States, should be everybody has to work hard for it; earn your own money,” Suy told WESH 2 News.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
