DECATUR, Ga. -- Bullets were flying among the diamonds Thursday night at a DeKalb County jewelry store.

The owner of Starblaze Jewelers exchanged shots with three armed robbers inside the store at 4450 Hugh Howell Road.

Some of the bullets went through the walls of the store and into adjoining businesses.

Matthew Henderson said he was working next door to Starblaze when two of the stray rounds went whizzing by his face.

"All of a sudden I hear two loud bangs and feel something sting my face," he said.

"I saw two holes in the wall and went 'Whoa,'" he added.

The owner of Starblaze, who did not want to be identified, told police he shot one of the robbers in the leg.

Police are searching for the three suspects.
