A Phenix City convenience store owner shot and killed a man Tuesday during an apparent robbery attempt, police said.
Kintae Omar James, 27, of Phenix City, was shot in the chest inside Don's Fine Foods, 2206 Fourth Ave., by the store's owner, Don Ford, 73, Phenix City Police Capt. Jim Hart said.
James was transported to The Medical Center in Columbus but died of the gunshot wound, Russell County Coroner Linda Key said.
No charges have been filed, but the case is still under investigation, Hart said. He said weapons were recovered at the scene but decline to described those weapons or to say whether James was armed.
I understand this is cheating, we already know the story has a happy ending, kinda like reading the last chapter of the mystery novel first. Hey, stick with me here, it gets better!
A witness said he heard as many as four gunshots fired from the store area, which is in the middle of the Sherwood Shopping Center.
Ah, HERE IS THAT GEM! It is an excellent point! IF you ever have to draw your Personal Security Tool and employ it, do not just shoot once, and assume that is going to do the trick. You shoot till the threat is neutralized, one shot or fifteen!
As Ford was leaving the store, briefcase in hand, neighbors said they were behind him. "We support you, Don," a group standing on the curb said. "I hate that it happened," Ford said.
Oi, I wish every community was this supportive. Well, our hero was forced to protect himself and his business, he did well! I wish him all the best!
