CONYERS (WSB Radio/AP) -- Authorities say a Georgia man shot and killed an assailant who tried to rob him in a grocery store parking lot in Rockdale County.
Sheriff Jeff Wigington says Ryan Moore was heading inside an Ingles store in Conyers late Saturday when two men tried to rob him. He says one of the men had a knife.
The sheriff says Moore pulled out a gun and fatally shot one of the robbers. The other ran away.
Nathan Taylor, a friend of Moore's, says he fired his gun in self-defense.
The sheriff says Moore's account of the shooting matches that of several witnesses in the parking lot.

What others are saying
- Don't MessGood for Mr. Moore--he refused to become a victim.
For the author of this news item, please don't use the words "pulled out a gun" thats what criminals do.
Armed, law abiding citizens "draw their weapon in self defense."
Note to Robbers: Georgians are armed and have put in some good range time: don't mess. - who?why would a clerk face criminal charges? what was his role in the story?
he's not mentioned until the final sentence. - Huh?"Neither the shopper (I'm guessing they're talking about Ryan Moore, the shooter) nor the clerk (what clerk? there was never any mention of a clerk) will face criminal charges, officials said."
- Good Shot!Hope this serves as a warning to other thugs.
GOOD HOT MR. MOORE!! - Good for him!Once again, a gun is used in a lawful act of self-defense!
Good job Ryan Moore! - Fight backCrime and robberies are on the rise so where are the police? My business was broken into three times over Thanksgiving; police found no suspects. Georgians need to protect themselves.
- dirtbag downNow, that's what I call gun control.
- DRT Robbers-Hooray!!!Darwinism at work. Never bring a knife to a gunfight, right? Congratulations on the head shot! Concealed carry working as designed. I have been mugged at gun-point once and burglarized twice.
- SympathyMy sympathy to Mr. Moore, he will have some thoughtful moments to deal with.
As for teh PERPITRATOR, dont bring a knife to a gun fight, maybe if more of these THUGS were shot adn KILLED the "gangstas" would get the idea it aint a good idea to try robbery any more! - Conyers shootingWe need more armed citizens in Conyers.
Best way I know to stop these attacks.We have had 4 armed robberies in two weeks. - Georgia Gun Carry Laws Work...Criminals must learn not to bring a knife to a gun fight... Good for the Law abiding citizen... one less piece of human debris roaming the streets of Atlanta... Good Riddance...
- Dead robberWay to go Mr. Moore ! You should receive a medal form Conyers City Government for keeping the tax-payers with a little more money in their pockets. The only thing that would have made the story better was if he got both perps.
- Rockdale sheriff reportsvictim killing robber has done a favor for all the rest of the country. I hope police don't give him a hard time. If more and more of this took place , thugs might start looking for a job knowing the risk is too high.
- Crime Stopper!Why would they be charged? He should receive a $1000 Crimestoppers award, 100 hours free range time at the county shooting range, the KEY to the city from the Mayor and 5 free boxes of hollow point ammunition in his favorite caliber! Enough is enough! I wish he could have gotten the other one too!
- I wish he would of shot both of them!This is a GREAT WAY to CLEANSE the SH-T out of OUR CULTURE. It is a way to put a PERIOD on THEIR RAP sheet, it saves the TAXPAYER BIG TIME. It puts the ASSAILANT in a spot where no one has to babysit him anymore. GREAT SHOT RYAN!!!!
- Robber shotGood work, Ryan Moore. Another one off the streets. Maybe his friend will see the light and mend his ways.
