On December 2, at about 9:45 p.m. In Warner Robins, Georgia, Joshua Hickey attempted to rob a restaurant at 1307 Watson Blvd. Warner Robins is about 70 miles southeast of Atlanta, and about 8 miles south of Macon, Georgia. The restaurant is an American Philly-N-Wings on Watson Blvd near Vernon Drive.
After Hickey jumped the counter, a restaurant worker attempted to disarm the suspect. But Hickey is said to have pistol-whipped the worker, attempting to gain compliance. The worker was struck to the floor, then drew his own handgun and shot Hickey three times. Hickey fled the scene. From 13wmaz.com:
Sergeant Justin Clark with Warner Robins Police says Hickey jumped the counter and attempted to make his way to a door in the restaurant while demanding money. That’s when things escalated, Hickey allegedly pistol-whipped a worker and the two men fought over the gun.
“The restaurant worker was struck, hit the ground. As he was coming back up, he drew his own legally-owned firearm and fired three shots at Mr.
Hickey. Mr. Hickey was struck twice and fled on foot,” Clark said about the tussle.
The police responded to the 911 call. They found Hickey with serious wounds, outside the restaurant, on Vernon Drive. Hickey was 23 years old.

Too bad Hinkey’s pronouns are not yet is/was.
“Was”
He died young, but he brought harm to others, so it is hard to feel sorry for anyone shot while hurting and stealing from others.
I would bet this criminal had a poor father figure and obviously did not follow Christ’s example.
Another one of Satan's fr'kn animals running loose in the country!
Should’a finished him off. Some liberal judge will just let him off on a technicality.
Oh, he died...never mind!
and a $3, M pay day
There is a youtuber (Active Self Protection) that is really good - he reviews videos of self-defense situations.
He claims that most people that have a gun but then hit you with it probably are not very inclined to actually fire the gun. So if you have your own gun there might be more of an opportunity to get to it and shoot the bad guy.
He showed one video where the BG brandished his pistol, hit the clerk once and the clerk backed off. Seemingly having control of the situation the BG set his gun on the counter as he started grabbing cash out of the register! (Clerk took that opportunity to shoot the BG).
A happy and suitable ending I see. Good! One less soulless monster victimizing good innocent people.
At least he died while working at a job he loved
He was just out jogging like Ahmaud Arbery.
Speaking of which, I need to get some new jogging Timberland boots.
I like the journalist’s approach : suspect WAS 23.
hickey’s mom sez she shouldnt have worry about her son being shot while committing armed robbery
No aspect of that picture surprises me.
Nor most thinking people.
