Pharmacy manager terminated for firing at robber

A drug store manager who fired two shots at an armed robber has been terminated by CVS Pharmacy officials, who said his actions put his co-worker's life in danger.

Mike DeAngelis, spokesman for CVS Pharmacy in Rhode Island, said Mike Hart was fired for exercising poor judgment.

"We certainly understand the difficult situation he's going through, but we investigated it and decided he exercised poor judgment in discharging a firearm at a fleeing suspect, needlessly putting people's lives at risk," DeAngelis said.

The account from the person who was actually there is substantially different. Regardless, it's just another indication of how hostile certain elements in our culture are to the concept of self-defense.
