DAYTON — UPDATE @ 1:38 p.m. (Dec. 6):
The Sunoco clerk who shot at a robber during an attempted robbery last month has quit his job after management said he couldn’t carry his weapon when he returned to work following the incident.
“The office manager called me in and said the owner doesn’t want me to carry my weapon anymore and he thought about suspending me,” said Pete Nunn, referring to the fact that a window was shattered during the robbery attempt. “All the sudden because I didn’t aim right and broke the window instead of taking a man’s life, I’m not allowed to carry, I said no”.
Nunn said he quit two hours into his first shift back after he was told he couldn’t carry his weapon.
Nunn said he worked for the Sunoco for seven years and said the owner knew he carried his gun prior to the shooting.
The former clerk is now looking for a full-time job and is currently working two part-time jobs.
We’ve reached out to the owner of the Sunoco, but so far he has not responded to our request to speak with him so far.
