Waffle House Robber Shot by Customer

A 20-year-old attempting to rob a Waffle House pointed his gun at the wrong people early Monday, police say.

A police officer and a security guard, both off-duty, helped thwart the would-be criminal.

Wearing a black bandanna over his face and a hoodie, Ashton Macafee walked into the south Fulton County diner in the 4300 block of Jonesboro Road shortly before 2 a.m. brandishing a handgun and demanding money, said Detective Gloria Hodgson with Union City police.
