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.
If the guy bolts as soon as the shooting starts you do not have to assume anything because he is no longer a theat.
If he is no longer a threat you can’t shoot him.
I assumed he was unarmed because he ran away and was not shot. But it really makes no difference.
If you want to go to jail, shoot a man in the back while he is running away.
Hindsight has its benefits. You go ahead and milk them...
