Off-Duty Officer Guarding Liquor Store Shoots, Kills Gunman

The Georgia Bureau of Investigation says a policeman working off-duty as a liquor store guard shot and killed a gunman who had ordered workers and customers onto the floor late New Year’s Eve.

The agency says in a news release that the gunman ran but collapsed outside the store in Stone Mountain, about 13 miles from Atlanta, and was pronounced dead at a hospital.

The dead man has not been identified. The officer is from the Pine Lake Police Department.
