just a shame he put his employees in such unnecessary danger, especially considering that his business losses would probably have been covered by insurance, assuming he had any.
Who put the employees in danger? Me? or the guy telling them he was going to kill them? I don't understand your logic at all. This kind of logic gets employees hurded to the back and executed. He didn't have a mask, maybe he didn't want witnesses either.
Insurance? Losses covered? I couldn't care less about the money. I felt that the lives of my employees were in danger. They had given him all the cash and he was still waving the gun around.
My manager had ducked out of my line of fire and the bad guy's gun was not pointed at anyone specifically. When I first put the gunman in my sights, I was aware of my manager being in the line of fire and did not take the shot. When he stepped way back and ducked behind some shelves, the shot became safe to take. The shot was safe for my employees and I took it. All of the employees told me after how happy they were that I did that. The girl that started crying just before I fired thought that he was about to kill them all. Monday morning quarterbacking by watching a video is different from standing here while it was happening.
I appreciate the support from most everyone. I felt that my employees were about to be killed. I did what I could to prevent that from happening. At the end of the day all the employees went home to their families and the bad guys are in jail. We have guns to defend ourselves if something like this happens. We used the guns in self defense. I hope it never happens again, but I will defend myself and my employees if it does.
