Ohio Gas Station Worker Fired After Shooting at Robbers Who Rammed Store
A gas station worker in Stow, Ohio, was fired after shooting at masked men who rammed a stolen minivan into the store during an attempted robbery. The incident happened around 3:30 a.m. on Nov. 2. Police said four men rushed toward the store after the vehicle shattered the entrance and dislodged an ATM. Kendrick Watson, 41, said he fired seven rounds because he feared for his life and his colleague’s safety. The shots hit a getaway minivan, a gas pump and a support post. Police said Watson would not face criminal charges. One suspect was arrested and faces robbery, stolen-property and vandalism charges. Watson had worked at the Circle K for six years. He said his manager told him not to return because the company prohibits weapons. He has since started a fundraiser to help cover expenses while he looks for another job.
