A few highlights:
Adams, who has owned the small grocery store just inside I-285 for 26 years, said he was in a rear office watching television when he saw the robbers on his store monitor about 10:45 p.m.
The Korean War veteran grabbed his 12-gauge shotgun with one hand. Using his other to guide his walker, he walked to the front of the store and fired a single shot.
"I got two in one shot, that's what the police told me," Adams said.
EDIT- Response from the communitly has been overwhelmingly positive
My favorite bit from the follow-up story:
By Friday morning, Adams, the owner of the Pac A Sac store at 2615 Lawrenceville Highway for 26 years, was being hailed as sort of a John Wayne in a walker. One customer delivered a box of Winchester shotgun shells with a note: "Thank you Mr. Adams -- You are a hero."
Hehe....the deliverer of the ammo is my neighbor and a good friend of mine. We had a good laugh about this the other night when he and his wife were over for dinner. 😀
