Kroger employee doing his part to support our economy... new plastic surgery patient created.

[the invisib1e hand]

police unions to file a grievance?

[Old Sarge]

Good for the employee!

He’ll probably be fired for it, in which case Kroger’s needs to be punished.

“...a man came into the store and approached a female worker in the doorway,
putting something to her back that she thought was a gun and demanding money.

The suspect then forced the victim to the office area, where he encountered
a second employee who fired a weapon at him, striking him in the face...”

I love stories with happy endings.

But, but, how will this affect his Bonus Points?

[DeoVindiceSicSemperTyrannis]

Poor employee. He will probably be fired now.

Looks as if the shooter was the store manager.

Someone has started a facebook thingy for the guy already

I can’t believe I am the first to say this “Clean up on aisle 6”

[Jack Hydrazine]

Put’s new meaning in that old Kroger tv commercial jingle, “Let’s Go Krogering!”. LOL!

[MadMax, the Grinning Reaper]

That store will be considered safe by customers for a long, long, time.

A few comments at the source commended the manager for doing the right thing, but all I could find in the article was that an employee/ worker was the shooter, no reference to a manager..... like the article was edited after the comments.. or did I miss something?

[DemforBush]

Just a general FYI, the Indianapolis newspaper The Star is now reporting the perp has died.

[wolficatZ]

Police spent several hours taking statements at the store.

 

Police took one woman, apparently a security guard, away for further questioning.

Support Grows For Kroger Shooter
Worker Shouldn't Lose Job, Online Posters Say

A couple of Facebook pages were created in support of the as-yet-unnamed employee. ... Most posters said they believe the grocer will move to fire the employee ...~~ snip ~~ "This worker is a hero. The robber could (have) went on a shooting spree ...."

Some Facebook posters who are ex Kroger employees said it's Kroger's policy to fire employees who 'defend the store'.

Sure hope that's wrong. This guy did the right thing and likely saved many lives.
