A SuperAmerica worker helped a fellow employee in the midst of a robbery and assault. He may have saved a life. His "speedy reward" from his employer, SA? A pink slip. KSTP-TV has the story and video.

Mark Beverly was one of two employees inside a Roseville Super America when a robber came into the store on March 26.

Beverly was cleaning the bathroom when he heard the store clerk cry out. He came out to find a robber attacking the female employee.

"I just jumped on his back and trying to hit his head and pushed him over the counter. I jumped back over and he was out of there," he said.

Later that day, Beverly returned to work only to be punished for his actions.

"I didn't think I was going to get fired for it," he told 5 EYEWITNESS NEWS.

SA allegedly gave him a robbery prevention packet after the incident and denied employment. Beverly is appealing the action, but I bet a lawsuit is brewing already. Score: Beverly 1, Robber and SA 0. Cross-posted and comments welcome at FreedomDogs.
