AJC Staff Photos of the Year, 2011-- John Spink
I felt like I was on a movie set rather than a real crime scene as all the Steven Spielberg elements came together to make this eerie frame. Atlanta homicide detective Mark Cooper looked for projectiles outside the gas station where a clerk was shot and killed early Thursday in an overnight robbery. The shooting happened around 4:30 a.m. at the Glenwood Food Mart Jan. 20. Police were interviewing two witnesses early and were reviewing security video from the store. John Spink jspink@ajc.com
