Jeweler shoots man who tried to pull him out of his car
A wholesale jeweler from Illinois shot a man who tried to drag him out of his car in a hotel parking lot, police said.
The jeweler, whose name has not been released, had pulled into a Ramada Inn on Ga. Highway 85 shortly after 5 p.m. Friday when a group of men approached his car, Clayton County Police Maj. Tim Robinson said.
"One of the men broke the window of the car and tried to pull him out," Robinson said. "While they were struggling (the jeweler) reached down, got his gun and fired three rounds."
One of the men was injured and taken to Southern Regional Medical Center. His condition was not immediately known.
The other men ran off.
It was not known if the 37-year-old jeweler had any jewelry with him or if robbery was the motive for the assault. Robinson said there have been jewelers robbed in similar fashion at Clayton County hotels recently.
