4 Walmart employees fired after disarming gunman...
I think there must be some compromise possible in this case.
See what you think...

Andrew Adams recently reported on this at KSL.com in Layton, Utah:
"'She said, 'You're fired,' Richins recalled, of the person brought in to let him go. 'You're being terminated for a violation of AP09.' AP09 is Walmart's policy on dealing with shoplifters. A copy obtained by KSL shows employees are allowed to use 'reasonable force' to limit movements of struggling suspects. If a weapon comes out, however, associates must 'disengage' and 'withdraw,' the policy states.
The workers say they don't know where they would have withdrawn to, with the door behind them closed in a small room and the man charging at them. They contend they had no other real option."
