A Fulton County judge awarded more than $2.8 million to a mother and her son, who was 11 years old when he was held at gunpoint by a clerk at a West End grocery store. 

Reports of the incident spurred several protests at the Big Brother Grocery Store on Lee Street, which reopened under new ownership a few months after it the incident. The default judgment, entered after a bench trial in November, apportioned 75% of the fault to the store’s owner, 20% to his now-defunct LLC and 5% to the clerk.
