VIRGINIA BEACH
An employee of a Virginia Beach pizza restaurant shot and killed a masked robber who had come in the back of the shop to rob it Saturday night, police said.
The shooting happened about 10:08 p.m. at Dominick's Pizza & Pasta, in the Timberlake Shopping Center in the 4200 block of Holland Road.
Employees had opened the back door to let a breeze come in, and the robber came in the door to the kitchen and pointed a gun at them, said Sgt. Rene Ball of Virginia Beach police.
An employee then shot and killed the robber, she said. No one else was shot.
Detectives and forensic analysts are on the scene this morning to interview store employees and investigate. There was apparently one customer in the restaurant, Ball said.
The name of the man killed was not immediately released.
Glad Virginia is a shall issue state. Of course even if the employee doesn't have a CCW they are still allowed to carry in their work place if the boss allows it. Seeing as how this place has been robbed before it wouldn't surprise me if the owner said it was OK. I don't live too far away from this place either. They make a good pie. Glad it turned out OK for the employees.
