Pizza Delivery Driver Fired After Shooting
A pizza delivery driver, who police said defended himself by shooting a robber who attacked him, was fired from his job on Friday.
James Spiers, 38, confirmed to KCCI that he is no longer employed by Pizza Hut. Spiers said he was given two months severance pay and was offered help finding a new job by the company.

According to court documents, Melanie Stout, 18, called in a pizza order to an apartment building at 2050 SE King Ave. Police said her fiancee, Kenneth Jimmerson, 19, was waiting in the lobby with a gun when Spiers arrived at 10:39 p.m. on March 28.
Police said Jimmerson tried to rob Spiers at gunpoint. During a struggle, Spiers pulled out his own gun and opened fire. Spiers shot Jimmerson several times, in what police said was a justified shooting. Jimmerson survived was sent to the hospital and a couple days later moved to the Polk County Jail.
Though Spiers had a permit to carry his gun, Pizza Hut suspended its long-time delivery driver.
What a crock of utter crapola! I don’t much like Pizza Hut anyway!
H/T: No Silence Here
All I can say is that’s a bunch of BS!! Look at all the delivery drivers that have been shot/killed in Milwaukee. These people, who are trying to earn an honest living, MUST be able to defend themselves.
Oh, I agree whole heartedly. Evidently, Pizza Hut doesn’t. Wonder if they’re own by some major Brady supporters.
