Armed Taco Bell workers shoot, kill robbery suspect

Armed employees at a Cleveland Taco Bell shot and killed a would-be robber early Wednesday, police said.

Police responded to the store in the city's Edgewater neighborhood shortly before 3 a.m. and found the suspect suffering from multiple gunshot wounds. The unidentified man was taken to a local hospital and pronounced dead.
A second suspect fled the scene.

Investigators say five Taco Bell employees were in the store when the suspects came in wearing masks and ordered them to get on the ground. Three of the employees opened fire, striking the suspect.

Police said no arrests had been made.

In a statement, Taco Bell said the company was offering counseling to the restaurant workers and was cooperating with the investigation.

Great news, it's time company employees started protecting themselves.

Ya know what? If things went down like this more often, you would be absolutely ASTONISHED at the drop in the crime rate! I just hope that the owner of that business isn't a liberal who comes down on the employee who took a EXTREME RISK to defend something that isn't even theirs! Of course, their lives were also in danger, but they went WAY above and beyond the call of duty and that owner should think them wholeheartedly!
JMHO - YMMV
