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 Examiners Office on Thursday said the man killed was 24-year-old DeCarlo 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.
One less dindo muffin...
Trying to rob that Taco Bell is like trying rob a bar where cops come to have a few drinks and dream about stupid robbers coming into that bar.
Must be a tough neighborhood for THREE employees to be carrying..................
You don’t think DeCarlo is and Amish name?
You don’t think my post was sarcasm?
LOL.
“Must be a tough neighborhood for THREE employees to be carrying..................”
More good news about John Lott’s great book, “More, Guns Less Crime!”
You don’t think I was joking?
Supply 100X Ammo expended! Range Time fees for 6 months!
There really should be more dead perps in the story for THREE defensive shooters.
DeCarlo is a hero for standing and shielding his Bros. He took six+ for the team! He’s a Saint, like Trayvon and Michael!
I don’t think the problem is range time. The problem is all three defenders cued on the same target (and defeated it) but left the other target unengaged.
Hard to believe 3 were armed, must be a fantastic neighborhood. As crazy as most businesses get about their employees being armed I am really sure management had no idea they had armed employees.
I imagine the employees were happy to be able to defend themselves since often now scum just kills people without thinking. Robbery is scary as can be, yes I would be in fear of my life for sure if I was being robbed.
lol
Never try to rob a guy holding a loaded potato griller.
I saw an interview after Furguson where a mother said she knew robbing people was wrong, but didn’t think they should be shot, she worried all the time her son would be shot for a robbery. So yes the words were real, I heard it. I saw that meme not long after, it was probably made because of that interview. You want to talk about total disconnect, that woman said there was NO justification for police or anyone to ever shoot young black people. So I guess people are just supposed to let them do as they please, and even die so the young black people never get harmed and their mothers don’t have to worry. The reporter interviewing her seemed so stunned by her answers...
De’Carlo took six right in the Gordita.
Something smells, indeed.
Smells like, I don’t know, victory!
Seems like every thread has someone who wildly misinterprets a posting. I’m glad it wasn’t me this time. :)
