Cleveland, Ohio: Taco Bell Employees Fatally Shoot Armed Robber
2017-09-07
[AP] ‐ Police say three employees of a Cleveland Taco Bell opened fire on two armed robbers, killing one.

Police have said two masked robbers entered the restaurant early Wednesday and ordered three employees to lie on the floor. Police say three other employees pulled out handguns and opened fire, shooting one of the suspects six times. The other suspect ran off.

The Cuyahoga (ky-uh-HOH’-guh) County Medical Examiner’s Office on Thursday said the man killed was 24-year-old De’Carlo Jackson.

Investigators say Jackson was found with a loaded gun in his hand. He was taken to a hospital and pronounced dead. No one has been arrested. The employees who opened fire are said to be two 19-year-old men and a 23-year-old man.

A Taco Bell spokeswoman told Cleveland.com the company is "shocked" by the shooting and is offering counseling to employees.

Guess they would rather have found the 6 corpses of their opening shift in the walk-in cooler?

#14  According to Google, you have to be 21 to buy a gun in Ohio. Those two 19 yr olds might be in trouble.

Not if I am on the jury.

..but you can enlist and within a year have firepower in your hand that dwarfs anything you can buy at the local gun store. N.B. If they're 18, according to Title 10 USC, they're already members of the federal militia.

It's better to be tried by twelve than carried by six...

#8   is offering counseling to employees.

I hope that this is a euphemism for range time since they only killed one of the two.
