Detroit Employee Could Face Punishment For Shooting Would-Be Robbers

 

 

” In one of the most violent cities in the U.S., Detroit employees, even those entering some of the city’s roughest neighborhoods on a daily basis, may not arm themselves while on the job, based on a 2010 order.

Anthony Neely, a spokesman for Mayor Dave Bing, said the city has not yet determined if it will impose penalties — up to and including termination — against a 59-year-old Public Lighting employee who shot two teens he claimed were armed and attempting to rob him and his co-worker.

 

Appropriate disciplinary action, up to and including discharge, will be taken against employees who are found to have engaged in such misconduct,” the order reads.
