Slayde Henry, a Domino’s pizza delivery driver, might lose his job after he shot two men that attempted to rob him on Wednesday morning in Hollywood, Fla.
The two masked men approached his car outside the pizza store and demanded his money. Henry responded by pulling out his gun and opening fire, killing one man as the other fled, reported The Daily Caller.
A co-worker of Henry’s, Daniel Tymecki, said he wasn’t an aggressive person, and this action was out of character for him.
“He was usually pretty calm, pretty chill type of guy. I don’t know what happened that caused him to shoot, but obviously his life was threatened, or he felt that it was threatened,” said Tymecki to WSVN.
While his actions were heroic, they were also against company policy, which bans employees from carrying guns while delivering pizzas or while working inside of company stores.
A Domino’s spokesman said in an interview with The Daily Caller that Henry does not qualify for “automatic termination” because he used it in self-defense.
He is currently on paid leave pending the outcome of an investigation.
