she thinks the shooting may have even been personal, citing past conflicts Grace Jr. had had with other employees at the restaurant. What idiot pulls an armed robbery where everyone knows him? Darwinism?

If he was on the clock, the lawsuit will be filed against Pizza Hut. "If there was to be a death, it was not the place of the employee at Pizza Hut. That is the place of law enforcement,” said Hairston Bwahahahaha! I lol'd over that little gem. Since when do negros support the police killing black criminals. Since the taxpayers have deep pockets and some dude working at Pizza Hut does not. Lawsuits are no fun against minimum-wage earners.

The parents should be put in jail for raising their criminal son. She should at least be sent a bill for the trouble. She should also be required to reimburse the employee for the replacement cost of however many rounds he wasted on her son. I don't see any of it as being wasted.

Pizza hut has a no guns policy for it's employees. This guy could be up a creek.
Pizza Hut employee breaks no weapons policy, stops armed robbery 11/01/16 | by Jennifer Cruz Pizza Hut robbery
Pizza Hut has a no guns policy and it’s unclear at this point whether the armed employee will face disciplinary action. (Photo: WSOC-TV)
An attempted robbery at a Pizza Hut in Charlotte, North Carolina, early Sunday morning was thwarted by an employee who was carrying a gun of his own.
According to reports from local media, three suspects, at least one armed with a gun, broke into the restaurant around 1:40 a.m. The business was closed at the time and no customers were present, but employees were still there working.
Upon seeing the robbers, the armed employee, fearing for the safety of himself and others, opened fire, striking one of the suspects and sending the other two fleeing. Employees immediately called the police.
Paramedics responding to the call pronounced the suspect dead at the scene. He was later identified as 28-year-old Michael Grace, and officers recovered the handgun carried by him during the attempted robbery. There were no reports of anyone else being injured.
Authorities are still working to identify the other two suspects, who, as of late Monday, remain at large.
In response to the incident, Pizza Hut released the following statement:
The local Pizza Hut franchise is fully cooperating with the Charlotte Police Department as they continue their investigation, but want to stress that the security of its staff is of utmost concern. They are providing support to the team members involved to ensure their health and well-being following this incident. The employee involved in the shooting has been placed on a leave of absence following further review.
According to their employee handbook, Pizza Hut expressly prohibits the possession of any and all weapons, including guns. No exceptions are made for individuals with concealed carry permits or licenses.
The employee, whose name has not been released, is not facing any charges at this time, and Tony Scheer, a defense attorney and former prosecutor, told reporters it’s not likely that he will.
“It’s going to be a rare case that they want to do anything to the person that defended themselves to shoot somebody,” Scheer said.

If Black Live really Matter.... maybe instead of all of this protesting and looting, burning etc...maybe the time would be better spent, teaching their little Ghetto Gangster Wannabes, to quit robbing and trying to live a life of crime... and instead get out and get a job....
but that would be too easy....
then on the other hand, and employee stops a robbery and defends his fellow employees of getting hurt and what happens? The liberal left's emergency response team, immediately jumps into action and makes out the shooter is the villain and the afro robber is the victim.....
and there are enough brain washed idiots in our society, to believe this sort of Bullschitt...
Blacks that commit crimes, need to be deported back to Africa....even tho they have no clue where their ancestors came from, we'll give them the country in Africa of their choice... lets see how far their 'occupation' of crime gets them in their native roots world....
it'll never end until they are held accountable, their parents are held accountable...,its not like they didn't know JR was supporting himself in a life of crime...and the liberal left, needs to be shut down and consider an accomplice if they are busy painting the criminal as the victim...
play stupid games win stupid prizes...

I try and avoid Pizza Hut anyway, their pizza sucks; but if they hang this guy out to dry I'm for sure not eating there and I'll let them know it. I'm sure they're just shaking in their boots over it!

Was referring to the legality of terminating an employee after an act of self-defense. This matter will eventually be hashed out in the courts. Many companies prohibit possession of any firearms in employee vehicles, while in their parking lot. Not so sure those companies would win this one.....in the current edged environment. I try and avoid Pizza Hut anyway, their pizza sucks; but if they hang this guy out to dry I'm for sure not eating there and I'll let them know it. I'm sure they're just shaking in their boots over it!

If there is a lawsuit brought I hope the guy that defended himself prevails. I'm fine with Pizza Hut taking it in the shorts over their no weapons policy.

Working in an environment where armed robberies can/do occur......defending yourself with 'equal' force......cannot see Pizza Hut lawyers recommending termination, unless they want it legally hashed for all.

Pizza Hut and other stores have to have a no weapons policy to cover their ass in case an employee accidentally shoots a customer or other bystander during an otherwise justified shooting. Tort lawyers for the innocent victims would have a field day suing establishments for allowing employees to carry guns who weren't certified three ways from Sunday as "firearms trained security guards".
Whether they fire the employee or not depends on how much unfavorable publicity they expect to receive for doing so.
Gunnery, gunnery, gunnery. Hit the target, all else is twaddle!

Pizza Hut corporate offices are in Texas so I guess there's hope that they will back the employee on this.
I don't think Pizza Hut will want to pursue it, but their lawyers have to justify their jobs so who knows?

CCW permit holders are certified......for 'self'-defense. Not a blanket security guard......self-security. Lawyers representing unarmed employees shot by armed perps would likely result in a similar case against Pizza Hut (given their no-weapons policy). Reasonable self-defense in that environment would likely be a winner in court right now.

A head shot isn't personal. 5 head shots may be though.

The link said it was an armed robbery so not only did the pizza guy perform a public service, but he did it in what looks like a clear-cut case of self defense. If that had happened in the U.K. the pizza guy would probably be up on a murder rap and get sued at the same time. Almost certainly.
