People I knew are shot
I was stopping by my old job, Milano Pizza and Subs -- 722 Ponce de Leon, if you are ever in Atlanta -- because I was on my way through to make a delivery in Decatur and I found out I was so hopelessly out of the loop that one of my friends is dead as of three weeks ago, and I didn't even know. Friday the 13th was apparently very, very bad for Sam and Greg.

Midtown restaurant owner killed, partner wounded

The owner of a Midtown Cajun restaurant was shot to death and his partner wounded Friday evening in an apparent robbery.
The double shooting occurred around 9:30 p.m. inside Fon Daines Bistro at 756 Ponce de Leon Ave. in the Common Market shopping center near City Hall East.
The restaurant was open for dinner, but no customers were inside at the time, police said. "Robbery appears to be the likely motive, but nobody besides the victims saw anything," Atlanta homicide Sgt. Sam Norris said Saturday. He could not say whether any money or valuables were taken.
Fulton County Medical Examiner's Investigator John Hager identified the slain man as Samuel Short, 31, and said that he was killed by multiple gunshots. The body was found near the front door.
Co-owner Gregory Chambers was behind the cash register when he was shot. He was taken to Atlanta Medical Center with a head wound. The hospital confirmed Saturday that he was admitted, but a spokeswoman could not give his condition.
Hager said that Chambers, before he was taken to the hospital, told him the three assailants had eaten dinner at the restaurant.
"He said they ordered dinner and ate. One of them had jambalaya. They were leaving when they showed guns and demanded money," Hager said. "He said two of them had guns."
The investigator added that Chambers said he struggled with one of the three men before he was wounded.
Daniel Arriagada, a delivery driver for Milano Pizza, came upon the restaurant moments after it happened. He said he looked inside a window and saw a man he knew as one of the restaurant's two owners lying on the floor in the seating area.
Arriagada said his co-workers told him that the other owner, who had been shot, had stumbled into Milano Pizza seeking help.
