  Rod was a manager at House Depot. He worked about 50 hours a week. He loved
his job, although the extra hours cut into the time he could spend with his
three little girls. One morning he was supposed to go home at 7 a.m. Instead, he
stayed on to help out for three more hours. He was just about to leave at 10
a.m. when he heard something.
          At one of the checkout counters, he saw a man dressed in white painter’s
coveralls pointing a gun at the female checker. He had on a yellow cap, a white
plastic painter’s mask, and white gloves.
          Rod hurried over. Times in Los Angeles had changed. All managers now
received training on how to respond to armed robberies and hostage-taking. Rod
was nervous, but he knew what he was supposed to do. He approached the
gunman.
          “Sir, please don’t point that gun. We will give you all the money you—”
          The gunman didn’t even wait for Rod to finish his sentence. He shot Rod in
the stomach. The checker screamed. The gunman ran out to a white van and hopped
in. The van sped off.
          Rod didn't even make it to surgery. The killing made all the TV news shows.
House Depot offered a $100,000 reward.
