Breaking NewsThose two teens, who were hospitalized, also face charges, police said.12:08 AM EST March 2, 2021ATLANTA — Police said a man will be charged after he shot two young people who they said were trying to break into his car while at an Atlanta Waffle House, Monday night.Those two teens, ages 13 and 14, who were hospitalized, also face charges for entering the vehicle and curfew violation, police said.According to , the two teens were at the Waffle House at 2914 Memorial Drive just before 10:30 p.m. where they were allegedly trying to break into a car.&nbsp;When the owner, who was armed, came outside and saw what was happening, police said he shot towards his vehicle. After the shots were fired, the two juveniles ran off. Roughly five minutes later, they were found near the intersection of Flat Shoals and Fayetteville roads.Credit: Fulton County Sheriff's OfficeBryant MaynorPolice said both juveniles had a gunshot wound to their leg. Both were taken to the hospital alert and breathing. They are stable, police said.Now, according to Capt. Graham, the car owner, identified as 32-year-old Bryant D Maynor, faces charges of aggravated assault for "recklessly" firing the gun.&nbsp;Many on 11Alive's Facebook page wondered why Maynor was charged. Criminal defense attorney said the case doesn't appear to qualify for stand your ground.&nbsp;"You have a right to defend your property, you have a right to use lethal force if you're in danger. Had he been in the car, it's a completely different situation."Cohen, who is unaffiliated with his case, said it wouldn't have mattered even if the bullets did not hit the teenagers, Maynor still could have been charged.&nbsp;"He doesn't actually have to hit them. If the kids did not point a weapon or even appear to point a weapon at him, that's different. If he wasn't in fear for his life or his personal bodily injury, then that could have been a cause for potential lethal force."Paid AdvertisementNotifications can be turned off anytime in the browser settings.No ThanksAllow
