An armed employee was at work this past Sunday at a Birmingham KFC when two armed men stormed in to try and rob the place. At the time of the robbery, there were no customers inside the store. The two robbers likely waited until the place was empty to begin their robbery.
While the armed employee was trying to take cover, he was shot in the leg by one of the armed robbers. It is at this time that the employee drew a firearm of his own and fired back, hitting one robber in the stomach and sent both of them fleeing. The robber hit in the stomach later turned up at a local hospital in search of treatment for his wounds. He was last listed in critical condition and will face charges (if he makes it).
KFC issued the following statement regarding this incident:
“The safety and security of KFC employees and guests is a top priority for both KFC Corporation and our franchisees. The franchise team is working with local law enforcement as this case is under active investigation.”
Birmingham police says that it isn’t clear yet if the armed employee will be facing any charges. The investigation is ongoing, and investigators say that a lot of questions remain unanswered.
We aren’t quite sure why the employee would face any charges, unless of course the firearm he used to shoot the robber was not legally owned by him.
Hopefully, the armed employee was in legal possession of his firearm. If so, we’ll be keeping tabs to see what KFC decides to do as far as his employment, if anything.
The good guy shot the bad guys and the LEO are questioning if the good guy should be charged with a crime. HAVE these people gone totally insane???
Illegally concealed…stolen weapon
Things of that sort are solid reasons.
Being aware of how many Cop Houses treat the citizenry…well, touogh to say what they are truly seeking.
KFC better say positive things about the guy in lieu of condeming him & his actions.
Yea of course they would question the good guy. I mean bad guys can have guns but not good guys. Also, I wouldn’t be surprised if he was fired from his job after he tried to protect himself from literally getting killed by shooting back at the robber, all so the Communist company doesn’t have to pay the insurance for him. It shit like that that would make me wonder how these people live with themselves.
