The delivery driver reportedly ran into the shop, grabbed his own gun and returned fire when Daniels came around to the front of the store, police said.

“It was very scary,” employee David Sorrows told Channel 2 Action News. “There were six employees in the shop and he kept shooting at different places.”

The gunfire shattered one of the store’s front windows.

The part of the shopping center near Upper Riverdale and Springdale roads where the shooting occurred was closed as police investigated.

Daniels is charged with six counts of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon. He was denied bond at his first appearance hearing Friday and remains in the Clayton County jail, records show.

Investigators believe the delivery driver acted in self-defense and do not expect to file charges against him, Rabel said.
