An employee at a Michigan General Motors Technical Center said he was fired after he pulled a gun to stop a knife attack at the plant on Wednesday, but his bosses eventually reversed their decision and let him return to work.Didarul Sarder, a 32-year-old valet service supervisor, "now has his job back," Warren Mayor Jim Fouts said in a Facebook post.
Sarder said he had a valid concealed pistol license and was carrying his gun when he saw a 52-year-old woman being stabbed by another woman just outside the main entrance of the central office building, FOX2 reported.

“Maybe those few seconds before the police arrived could be the difference between life and death.”

“The lady kept saying ‘I’m dying, someone help,’ and it was just natural reaction,” Sarder said. “I just see this lady getting stabbed. I only had, like, half a second to think and I un-holstered my firearm and pointed it at her to drop the knife.”
Sarder said he told the suspect to freeze until police arrived to arrest her. The woman who was stabbed, Stephanie Kerr, is in critical condition after being stabbed in the neck, back and abdomen, officials said.
Fouts told FOX2 the attack began when the 32-year-old suspect entered the plant asking to speak with Kerr. The two met in the lobby but eventually went outside. That’s when the suspect pulled a knife. The suspect hasn’t been identified because she hasn’t been charged or arraigned yet.
“I hope she makes it,” Sarder said. “Maybe those few seconds before the police arrived could be the difference between life and death.”
But after the incident was resolved, Sarder said a GM employee fired him for having the weapon on the premises.
“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.’”
Sarder added: “I was really bummed out. I got a little emotional.”
Sarder said he had worked on the grounds for a company contracted by GM since December. He said he was never informed of a no-gun policy. Sarder’s wife, Jakia Sarder, told The Detroit Free Press that Sarder had worked for the company for almost 10 years.
“Right after it happened someone in authority asked him off the premises because he violated company rules with a gun,” Fouts wrote. “That was absolutely the wrong response to this hero. However that decision was over-ruled by higher ups and he now has his job back.”
Sarder said he wouldn’t change anything that happened.
“I would do it all over again,” he said. “If I could save this woman’s life over a job. I can get another job.”

A good story that will be ignored by most media.

I agree with Mr. Sarder. An innocent life is worth more than a job. I am glad it didn't play out that way for him. *hat tip* to a good guy with a gun.

Hopefully the stabbing victim will survive. It's good to see that management made the morally correct decision.

I was about to start a thread of good guys with guns.

An Atlanta man held a would-be carjacker at gunpoint for a hilarious 4 minutes. The suspect, Edgar Horn, age 61, allegedly entered Hashim Fannin’s car in the parking lot of a Family Dollar store in Atlanta, GA.
Fannin drew his concealed handgun and ordered Horn out of the vehicle. He then held Horn at gunpoint until police arrived as the entire incident was filmed by a bystander.
Fannin berated Horn for the duration of the encounter. When police arrived they told Fannin “Good job,” and shook his hand before taking Horn into custody.
“I told him no, there’s no leaving, leaving was before you hopped into my car … at this point there is no leaving,” Fannin said during an interview with Atlanta ABC affiliate WSB-TV.
“You were not trying to rob me,” Fannin said to the man on cellphone video of the incident. “Do you just get into random people’s cars … you thought I was your friend… you thought I was your friend… so you woke up stupid this morning?”
Horn was arrested on two charges, attempted robbery and entering a vehicle.

Guy with gun helps Cops!

Police officers in Philadelphia, about 8 of them, are tasked with controlling around 4,000 students as they leave Upper Darby High School each afternoon.
Last Friday, for reasons still unknown, multiple fights broke out among the crowd among several dozen students. The officers were caught right in the middle of the action. Two officers faced injuries so severe in the melee that it may end their careers.
It looked like another officer was going to fall victim to the mob, then a concealed carrier stepped in.
According to Philly.com’s account of the story:

“As he breaks up the fight, he takes one kid and then the other jumps [on] him. Now he’s fighting two of them and he’s calling for an assist officer at the same time,” Chitwood said. “There’s a crowd of 40 or 50 kids watching the fight, and they all move in towards the officer.”
That’s when the good Samaritan, who lives on the block, came out of his house with a gun in his hand and told the teens to get away from the cop, Chitwood said.
“He had the gun in his hand, but he didn’t point it at the kids, he just told them to back off,” Police Superintendent Michael Chitwood said. “If this guy didn’t come out and come to the aid of the officer, this officer would have had significant problems.”
The 35-year-old gun owner, who has a concealed-carry permit, kept the group of teens at bay until responding officers arrived, Chitwood said.

“There were 40 kids. If it wasn’t for the good Samaritan stepping forward, he’d have been dead meat,” Chitwood said. “There’s no doubt they would have attacked him.”
Eight teens have been arrested in the incident so far and more may face charges once the investigation is complete.
