Papa John’s said it was standing by a driver who shot an armed pizza robber in self defense. The robber Donquaz Stevenson was shot in the face and found in a neighbor’s yard.
FOX News reported:
Papa John’s Pizza is standing by a pizza delivery woman who opened fire Sunday on an armed robber in an act of self defense.
The pizza franchise told FoxNews.com Thursday the employee, who hasn’t been named, will not be fired from the company.
The employee was making a delivery in Decatur, Ga., Sunday night when a man approached her vehicle, forcing her onto the ground at gunpoint, according to the DeKalb County Police Department. The woman, who had a gun in her pocket, was able to fire at the man while on the ground — striking the alleged assailant, identified as 24-year-old Donquaz Stevenson, in the face.
Stevenson was later found in a neighbor’s yard and arrested, according to police, who said the pizza delivery might have been a setup. Local media outlets reported that a second suspect carjacked the delivery woman’s silver 2000 Honda Accord and remains on the run.
Stevenson was charged with armed robbery and was being treated for a gunshot wound at Grady Memorial Hospital in Atlanta.
The delivery woman’s mother had told WSB-TV her daughter is worried she may lose her job because she was carrying a firearm at work for protection.
Thanks to significant social media pressure and the threat of a boycott, Papa John’s will not be firing the employee
