All he was doing was cleaning the store windows.
But Ibrahim Ibrahim, 22, the manager of Metro PCS, took a bullet for it Monday. He was struck in the leg as two men had a gunfight in the parking lot on Snapfinger Woods Drive outside Decatur.
On Wednesday, an employee of the store near I-20, who asked to not be named, said Ibrahim, a Lawrenceville resident, was in surgery before 2 p.m. but was "alive and well."
The exact condition was unknown for another reported innocent bystander, a 54-year-old woman who was shot in front of the Texaco station in the shopping center. But a video posted on Facebook appeared to show her telling friends and family she's "still standing."
DeKalb County police are still searching for the suspects, a spokesman said. The men fled before officers arrived.
One of them was seen walking near the Texaco station with a woman and small child before the shooting, according to a police report released Wednesday.
A witness saw the man, who was listening to music on a portable speaker, walk away from the woman and child before the gunfire started.
Based on the shell casings left, police believe the two were shooting at each other.
