This is how we do it in North Idaho...
Shopko employee tackles armed robber
A Coeur d’Alene pharmacy employee tackled a masked armed robber and held him for police Wednesday night. Jason Anthony Wahl, 28, will appear in Kootenai County District Court this afternoon after police arrested him at the Shopko pharmacy, 217 W. Ironwood Drive.
Wahl is accused of trying to rob the pharmacy of prescription medication just before 9 p.m.
When police arrived, an employee was on top of Wahl struggling to get control of a handgun, said Sgt. Christie Wood.
Wahl had been tackled while trying to run from the store with drugs, police said. source
Update: If you plan on leaving a comment saying what the employee did was stupid, dangerous, or is in any way not in support of the employee (as I'm sure ShopKo will not be), don't.

And everybody else in the area was doing....what? Did they just stand around with their thumbs up their bums, watching the show? There should have been a pigpile on this guy.
Just my opinion.
Sub - this was taken form the Spokesman Review, which is a joke. There's no tellig what really happened.
My best guess is this poor guy will get fired in 3, 2, 1. Boo on ShopKo...
Here's what I really think - we should have concealed carry laws so these sick individuals will think twice before waltzing into a store with a gun.
Why spend the money on the Spokesman when I can get the good stuff from you? LOL
Anyway, I certainly hope the employee doesn't get fired.
too bad the guy who tackled him didn't have his own gun to hold on the guy.
