Man fired for saving woman

When a neighbor screamed she'd been shot, Colin Bruley grabbed his shotgun, found the victim and began treating her bloodied right leg.

Tonnetta Lee survived Tuesday's pre-dawn shooting at her Jacksonville apartment, and her sister and a neighbor praised Bruley's actions. But his employers, the same people who own the Arlington complex where Bruley lives, reacted differently. They fired him.

No official word from the company then?

The only thing I can think of for the reason that he was fired is that he was risking injury while on medical leave. And even that is a stretch.

yea, they basically said, "We stand by our decision." Frigging idiots.

They said it was because he was brandishing a shotgun on company property. It was legally owned. What it comes down to is he lived there, but he also worked there--you can legally have a gun in your home, but an employer can also have rules about guns on their premises.

I bet he gets his job back, in the end.

It was over three months ago; he probably shouldn't hold his breath.

I wonder if he'd want to go back to work for this outfit?

Those people are morons. They deserve and employee who would not help someone.
