Police say liquor store clerk shot armed robber

When two men with shotguns held up the Big Daddy's Liquor store Thursday night on Napier Avenue, the clerk pulled a gun and fired as they ran away on foot with the money, police said.

About 10 minutes after the 7 p.m. robbery, police received a call about a person with a gunshot wound on Thomas Place, a few blocks from the store, according to a Macon Police Department news release.

Jarvis Williams, 20, received a gunshot wound to the torso and was lying in the front yard at 1057 Thomas Place, the release stated.

Williams was in critical condition Thursday night at The Medical Center of Central Georgia, the release stated.

While emergency crews responded to the shooting, Macon police detective Jim MacDonald was at the store learning more about what happened during the robbery.

The clerk leaned out the drive-through window, fired a few shots and hit one of the suspects, MacDonald said.

"He was in fear and that was the reason he fired," MacDonald said.
