A man entered the Paradise Island Smoke Shop in DeKalb, Ga. and requested that an employee retrieve an item from a shelf. When the employee turned to get the item, the man drew a shotgun and trained it on the worker. As the employee turned around, he grabbed the shotgun barrel, forced it in a different direction, and then drew a gun. The employee shot and killed the armed robber.
