Kroger worker shoots, kills robber, during robbery attempt

INDIANAPOLIS -- A shooting at an Indianapolis Kroger grocery store is giving several gun-related bills new momentum heading into the legislative session, which begins Wednesday, Jan. 4.

A Kroger employee shot and killed a man who was trying to rob the store on Indy's northwest side Monday evening.

The employee likely violated the company's policy by having a gun in the workplace, but some state lawmakers told RTV6 the incident is proof Hoosiers should be able to exercise their Second Amendment rights.


"This is a great example of a case where an individual was exercising the right to protect themselves," said Republican Sen. Jim Banks, of Columbia City. "It bolsters the premise of allowing people to carry a weapon to protect themselves in situations exactly like this one."

Banks is expected to introduce legislation that would allow licensed gun owners to carry guns onto public college campuses in Indiana.

Currently, university policies prohibit guns, but Banks' legislation would override them, RTV6's Kara Kenney reported.

"What we don't know is what would've happened if this Kroger employee wasn't carrying a gun, and if he wasn't able to defend himself and the other employees," Banks said. "It could've been much more of a tragic situation. We'll never really know."

Students for Concealed Carry on Campus said after the Kroger shooting, the law needs to be updated.

" Many like you would sooner allow themselves to be beaten, raped, and murdered before harming anyone themselves. However, if at all possible I will not be a victim and I will not allow my wife, daughter, family member, or even you to become a victim. There will always be sheep in this world and there will always be a need for sheepdogs to protect those sheep from wolves. I won't go looking for evil, but if it finds me I will not go quietly.

i have a feeling theres more than a few sheep dogs on this site , and that makes me happy
