At a Government err General Motors facility, a woman was being stabbed repeatedly. A good Samaritan with a gun decided to intervene:

A nearby valet driver, who also has a concealed pistol license, saw what was happening and rushed to the employees aid.

He pulled the weapon out and stopped the attack from taking place, said Fouts. By then, this woman had been stabbed multiple times.

The driver held the attacker on the ground at gunpoint as other GM workers called 911. Police quickly arrived on the scene and took the suspect into custody as the employee was rushed to the hospital.

She underwent surgery and was last reported in stable condition.

So, he was, of course, fired on the spot:

The victim, identified as Stephanie Kerr, is in critical condition, and lucky the stabbing didn’t go any further, according to city officials. All of which is why Sarder says he was surprised to be fired on the spot by a GM employee, then escorted off the property.

“He said, ‘You shouldn’t have had a firearm here,'” Sarder said. “‘After this is done he needs to be escorted off the property. He’s not welcome back here.’

“I was really bummed out. I got a little emotional.”

Sarder, who has a valid CPL, works for a company contracted by GM. He says he started working on the grounds in December and was never informed of a no gun policy.

GM officials, however, deny firing Sarder, saying in a statement, “Because this is an ongoing investigation we cannot comment. However, we can say GM has not requested the valet be dismissed. To our knowledge the valet remains an employee of the vendor.”

I’m not certain who’s telling the truth here.

Update: He has gotten his job back.
