A 44-year-old store manager was killed in a sudden act of violence Tuesday morning while working at a Dollar General on Victory Drive in Columbus, Georgia. Per WTVM 9, Alexis Hill, a mother of three, was working the till when the incident occurred. The suspect in the shooting was later tracked down and killed by police following a separate confrontation that also left an officer and a K-9 wounded.
Muscogee County Coroner Buddy Bryan told the outlet that the interaction began when a man entered the store to purchase a packet of $1.58 hamburger buns. He reportedly handed Hill two crumpled $1 bills after she scanned the item. As she attempted to straighten out the cash, the customer allegedly moved to the side, drew a firearm, and shot her. The incident took place just after 10:00 AM, and Coroner Bryan pronounced Hill dead at the scene at 10:45 AM.
