Marietta store owner fires back at would-be robber
A would-be robber apparently got more than he bargained for when he tried to rob a Cobb County package store. When a man wearing a hoodie and carrying a gun tried to rob the Windy Hill Package store, the owner fired a handgun at him, police spokesman Dana Pierce said. The owner of the store at 2425 Windy Hill Road in Marietta believes he shot the suspect as he ran from the store during the Nov. 15 robbery attempt. A store security camera captured the incident as it unfolded around 7:30 p.m. at the store near Cobb Parkway.

Astronauts from Georgia Tech saluted during game
Georgia Tech fans were treated to a live feed of space shuttle Endeavour and their alumni crew members on the Bobby Dodd Stadium video board Thursday night. Aboard the spacecraft are three Tech grads, pilot Col. Eric Boe and crew members Lt. Col. Robert "Shane" Kimbrough and Sandra Magnus. The crowd, already fired up by Tech's early 3-0 lead over Miami, cheered its approval as the astronauts were saluted between the first and second quarters. Among the Tech faithful at Bobby Dodd Stadium was one fan dressed as an astronaut. Earlier in the evening, the shuttle, docked with the international space station, passed over Atlanta at about 6:10, the school said. The station was visible as a moving star-like light in the sky.
