A Georgia delivery woman is keeping her job after she shot an armed robber in the face when he forced her to the ground at gunpoint Police believe the delivery was a set up and a second suspect stole the woman's car Authorities say the woman acted in self defense and the pizza company said it will not fire the woman but will reassign her and offer her counseling Facebook users initially lashed out on the company on its Facebook page vowing to boycott the restaurant if the woman was fired

A Georgia pizza delivery woman opened fire on an armed robber, shooting him in the face Sunday after he forced her to the ground at gunpoint.

The unnamed woman, a Papa John's Pizza delivery driver, was making a delivery in Decatur at around 8pm Sunday when 24-year-old Donquaz Stevenson approached her vehicle, CBS reports.

Stevenson allegedly put the gun to the 27-year-old woman's head, demanding her car and cash. Shot: A Papa John's Pizza delivery woman shot 24-year-old Donquaz Stevenson (photographed) in the face Sunday when he forced her to the ground at gunpoint in a delivery set up

He then forced her to the ground at gunpoint, but the woman had a weapon of her own. While on the ground, she was able to pull her handgun from her pocket and shot the assailant in the face.

'She had no other choice. She must have been in fear for her life and she reacted,' Capt. Stephen Fore, of the Dekalb County Police Department, told WSB-TV.

Authorities found Stevenson later in a yard and arrested him, but investigators say the pizza delivery may have been a set up, according to FOX News.

Well, you fully understand that they care very little about their employees when measured against potential losses in a court case.
