Store clerk loses his job after tackling armed robber who threatened to shoot him
A sales clerk explains how he was fired from his job: tackling an armed robber who threatened to shoot him. Eric Henderson refused to back down when confronted by two female robbers in Pensacola Florida demanding he hand over cash from his Circle K register last week.
Catching a moment of rare opportunity, the 30-year-old grabbed the gun pointed at him by one of the alleged robbers and slammed her to the ground. He then chased the pair out of the store where they fled in a waiting car.
Three suspects, Verna Sealey, 25, Leandra Austin, 25, and 19-year-old Eldridge Fontenot, were later arrested after the failed hold up but Mr Henderson was fired from his job after his bosses reviewed the CCTV footage of him taking on the suspects.
Of course, Circle K has the right to hire or fire people for any virtually any reason. However, I think they made the wrong decision to fire Mr. Henderson, who acted in defense of his life. If I were in a position to boycott Circle K market, I would.
