As usual, the media has to make stupid comments like "the employee took justice into his own hands." implying that he was some kind of vigilante.
That is NOT what the employee did at all. It's not "taking justice" or "took the law" into his own hands simply to defend themselves. Self defense is not something at is only the purview of the police.
So far I've not heard any reports of the employee being fired yet. The only thing Taco Bell has said at this time is:
Hopefully that included the employee that saved lives and not fire that person.In a statement to USA Today, a Taco Bell spokesperson said the company was “shocked” by the incident.
“The franchise owner and operator of this location has informed us that they are working with the local authorities in their investigation and that they will be offering support to all team members present,” the spokesperson said.
