Armed Employee Stops Assault at Work

Most companies want their employees disarmed. Better that employees should be beaten (or killed) than be in a position to defend themselves. That wasn't the case here. Woman shot in Alton altercation Tuesday morning

According to witnesses at the scene, shortly after 10 a.m. Tuesday a woman entered Rent-A-Center at 2831 Homer Adams Parkway and struck a female manager in the face with a gun. Witnesses said the assistant manager of the store then shot the woman, who left the store in a vehicle that contained a child.

The woman who got shot, who started the confrontation and attacked the manager of the store, had a court order of protection that was intended to restrain her from having contact with the woman she attacked. So I would say that is another case of a restraining order failing to do much of anything.

No information on the condition of the woman who was shot was provided. No information on what the company in question might do to the defender in this incident. I am afraid that he will lose his job, when he should be getting a commendation.

Alton, Illinois is on the Mississippi river about 5 miles from St. Louis, and about 15 miles due north of The Gateway Arch. (Hat tip to The DaleyGator.)
