DEKALB COUNTY, Ga. -- A father protecting his family during a holdup shot and killed a robber late Thursday night.

Ronald Johnson and his family had just returned home from a school recital. After parking in their driveway the family was walking up the front walk at their house on Stardust Circle when three robbers stopped them.

Police said one of the men pulled a gun and ordered the family to "Give it up."

During the confrontation Johnson pulled his own gun and opened fire, killing one of the robbers. The other men ran off.

Police said Johnson was within his rights, defending his family and will not face charges for the shooting.

"It was a home invasion, but this time the invasion was on the other foot," said one neighbor.

The neighbor says the wounded man died in the family's yard and the other two men fled on foot.

That same neighbor told police that she heard her dog attack one of the robbers as he ran through her backyard.

Police have not released the names of anyone involved.

Officers continued searching for the surviving robbers.

Good job, Mr. Johnson.

As for WSB, why did they see fit to print the victim's name and address, but not those of the dead thug who was robbing and threatening him and his family?

Good Shooting.
We need a collection for more range time for him so he will get all of them next time.

I so love a story with a happy ending; great shooting for Mr. Johnson. Hope the dog got a good chunk of scumbags butt as he fled.

Hopefully the cops have the other two in custody shortly. I would imagine the Johnsons are not going to feel comfortable in their home until the other two are caught.

Anyone know if he was a CCW holder or an off duty LE?
