One of the gunman pointed the gun at him and tried to shoot him while he was calling 911 but the gun misfired. He returned fire (3 shots) missing the assailant, and he and his accomplice soon ran out the door empty handed. More importantly they left without hurting anyone. To me the guy was a hero.

Of course Walgreens fired him.

I worked for Walgreens and this is exactly how they appreciate their staff. They have no security guards, no emergency call pendants like gas station attendants have.... All you have for "protection" is a phone mounted up on a wall or counter that you can dial 911 on and hope the police come in time to catch the guys leaving after they stole everything and killed you and your coworkers.

The guy filed a lawsuit against walgreens for wrongful termination but I doubt he will win. They have in the handbooks and training videos stuff about escalating violent situations, and what to do in a robbery... and of course their policy on no guns and how any employee with one on them or in their locker will be terminated immediately. Boo Walgreens. Their actions clearly say that if their employees are robbed and shot at to just lay there and die.

My Dog would be at the TOP of the list. My Cat would be second on the list.

I don't have/need a job (fortunately) so that would not make ANY list.
