Even if Wayne LaPeepants had his way, and all UPS employees were armed…
Does he believe the shooter could not have killed at least two people before being taken down by a “good guy with a gun”?

Higher rank employee- meaning his manager? Did they fire him or cause him to be fired? This, also, happens too often.
