VIOLENT CRIME CAN BE UNSAFE

The owner of the Classic Cash check-cashing business in Athens, Ga.
was opening a side door to let an employee inside, when he saw
a hooded man rush towards the door. The owner locked the door
before the hooded man could get inside, retrieved a pistol and went
to investigate. Upon opening the side door, the owner noticed the
criminal go into one of the business' storage rooms. After warning
the robber that he was armed, the owner saw the criminal come out
of the storage area wielding a gun, at which point the owner opened fire.
The gunman was struck twice, ending the attempted robbery.

In an interview with local media Athens-Clarke Capt. Clarence Holeman
described the shooting as a case of self-defense.
An investigation revealed the robber to be a convicted felon
and police suspect he may have been involved in another nearby robbery.
