Armed Robber Dead After 3 Taco Bell Employees Took Him Down

Cleveland, Ohio — Three Taco Bell Employees reportedly used concealed handguns to defend themselves and co-workers from armed robbers on Wednesday. One of the crooks died at the hospital as a result of gunshot wounds.

The robbers demanded the employees get on the ground at gunpoint. Three employees complied and the robbers walked up to the cash register, police said.

Three other employees pulled out their own guns and fired several shots at the duo, killing Jackson.

The other robber ran out of the restaurant and has not yet been identified by police.

(Although the above quote says they killed the robber, he did not pass away at the scene.)

The bad guy apparently earned his fate, and wasn’t about to be reformed:

Jackson’s criminal history includes three convictions for attempted drug trafficking since 2012. Jackson’s cases were all referred to the Cuyahoga County Common Pleas Court’s mental health docket because Jackson’s IQ was below 75, according to court records.

He was released from jail in February 2016 after violating the terms of his probation in his most recent conviction.

A sad end, mainly for his family and the folks who had to drop the hammer on him.
