A man exited the mall after the shooting and was found by police at an apartment building on Pleasantdale Road. Both men were taken to Grady Memorial Hospital and were stable. The mall was open on Saturday with added security. (WSB TV)
3. A Johns Creek man was paid $100,000 to develop a rope-throwing toy for Shark Tank. Austin Hillam, a student at Brigham Young University, and Stephen Fazio of Geneva, NY, attended an episode that aired December 9. The launcher is a length of cord that feels secure while flying at approximately 35 MPH. Fazio is a student at Georgia Tech and both men assembled the launchers in Hillam’s garage. During the show, they negotiated a $100,000 deal with Robert Herjavec and Kevin O’Leary, with a shared 20% stake. (Finger Lakes Times)
