On December 26th, 2016, two armed men with ski masks attempting to rob his store entered and shouted to Jimmy and his co-worker to put their hands up and "get down on the floor or I'll kill you".

As the men get closer, Jimmy quickly finds his gun behind the counter and open fires on one of the men, and tries to shoot the other.

The man he shot died of the gunshot wounds, while the accomplice gets away.

[3]

The whole incident was caught on a surveillance camera, which shows Jim quickly taking aim to defend himself.

He has stated that he didn't want to do it - that is, kill anyone, but he had no other choice.

He says, "I hate that it happened.

I've been doing this 30 years.

Nothing like this has ever happened.

I never wanted this to happen but I want to go home at night, too".

[2]

Detectives found after their investigation that Jim was clearly shooting in self-defense.

He wasn't charged with the killing.
