Updated: Oct 31, 2016 - 5:32 AM
CHARLOTTE, N.C. - A west Charlotte Pizza Hut employee is on leave after shooting and killing a man police said was trying to rob the restaurant early Sunday morning.
Police identified the would-be thief as 28-year-old Michael Grace.
Investigators said that just before 1:40 a.m. three people tried to break into the Pizza Hut on Freedom Drive.
Officers told Channel 9 that the employee fired his personal handgun at Grace, who died at the scene.
Police found the gun they said Grace was carrying when he was shot at the scene.
The two other intruders ran away and have not yet been found.
Pizza Hut released the following statement following the shooting:
"The local Pizza Hut franchise is fully cooperating with the Charlotte Police Department as they continue their investigation, but want to stress that the security of its staff is of utmost concern. They are providing support to the team members involved to ensure their health and well-being following this incident. The employee involved in the shooting has been placed on a leave of absence following further review."
No customers were at the restaurant at the time.
Police have not determined if the employee will face any charges.
Channel 9 checked with Pizza Hut's corporate office on their policy for an employee carrying a weapon. A spokesman said it varies by franchise, but has not responded with the policy for the Freedom Drive location.

Otherwise ...
See, I told y'all how dangerous it is to mess around with pizza! !
If you owned a franchise, would you allow your employees to carry?
What happened?
As long as all their background check / permit credentials were in order
Might even pay for extra training
If you are anti gun or anti American you are NOT getting a dime from me ...
BANG
Then he ran.

Most likely, the robbers were pot-heads who had the "munchies". More proof that Pot is bad news.
