MABLETON, Ga. -- The owner of a gun shop who shot back against two armed suspects is speaking out after the incident, saying he had no choice but to fire at the men, killing one.
Bullet holes are still visible on the front on the Dixie Gun and Pawn shot Monday night after what detectives describe as a gun battle broke out earlier in the day.
Police said two armed men burst in Jimmy Groover's store in broad daylight Monday and held the gun store owner at gunpoint.
"Get down on the floor, get down on the floor or I'll kill you," Groover recalled the suspects telling him. "Then they shot at me."

What the men weren't aware of is that Groover had a gun of his own. Feeling like his life was on the line, he pulled the trigger, shooting and killing one of the suspects. The other is still on the run.
Groover returned to his Cobb County business after the ordeal and showed detectives and family members how he pulled the gun off his hip to defend his life.
"I had no other choice. I had no other choice. I hate that it happened," he told 11Alive. "I've been doing this 30 years. Nothing like this has ever happened. I never wanted this to happen but I want to go home at night, too."
