What a little sweet heart, JUST GOT OUT OF PRISON FOR ARMED ROBBERY AND PRIOR CHARGES OF CARRYING A HANDGUN WITHOUT A LICENSE.

I'd say the employee had plenty of reason to fear for his life, and if he gets fired, holy **** it'll be a slam dunk case for a lawyer.

WTHR wants to know if the public thinks employees should "pack heat". Uggh.

Atkinson was released from prison in October 2010 after an armed robbery conviction. He also had a prior conviction on a charge of possession of a handgun without a license.

It's difficult to live with the aftermath of shooting someone.
In this case the employee most likely saved the life of his co-worker and him/herself and is probably wondering about future employment.
I'd hate to think Kroger would dismiss him but corporations, policies, and legal possibilities rule our world.
IF Kroger is monitoring this I hope you know we support law abiding citizens in defense of themselves and others.
It's a shame the bad guy, robber, felon, had to forfeit his life for his illegal and life threatening actions but "you reap what you sew" and in this case his life of crime and utter disregard of the law and the rights of others to live caused his demise.
I hope the Kroger employee is well and safe from persecution from doing the right thing.
I'm a pretty loyal shopper of Krogers but I'll not spend another red cent if they cut him loose. Right is right.

Man, I hate that phrase.

If Kroger decides to fire this guy it will be interesting to see which side the union comes down on. Kroger is a union shop and everyone's forced to be a member. Can't wait to see if they have his back.

They reported the Hero's name as Elijah Elliott

 

[Roadie]

The number of people calling for criminal charges against the EMPLOYEE on the Facebook comments is sickening. "He should have shot him in the leg not the face" blah blah

I think I'll make a call to my union. Maybe they'll step up for a brother union worker.

Ted Fleischaker He should be fired immediately. I won't be shopping there if he is allowed to carry a gun at work and I am for REPEAL OF THE 2nd AMENDMENT and the immediate banning of ALL guns as well!

Question? Since when does corporate policy trump inalienable rights endowed by our Creator and recognized by our government's?

 

[xring62]

but by fox59...he is employed until end of internel investigation...but i'm sure someone will gladly hire this man if he is fired by kroger

 

[halfmileharry]

Wish TV 8 just reported that Kroger made a statement that the employee still has his job.

Ted an many others, wow the sheeple are out in force. Just saw the employee get called a "vigilante"

We can only hope that Kroger chooses to "reprimand" him not fire him.

Remember this did not work out so well for the Pizza Hut driver who stopped a robbery..

 

[williamsburg]

if he had a ltch and all legal....so what...he was doing what he and all of us have a right to do
