El Segundo travel firm mum on firing of shooting victim
I contacted Pinnacle Travel Services regarding its dismissal of Devan Jackson, the Hawthorne man shot at the El Segundo theaters.
If you missed it, the El Segundo travel agency told Jackson not to return to his job because he missed too many days of work. (He made travel reservations for American Express cardholders.)
I tried to speak with somebody at the company Friday about why he was fired (he learned this while at the doctor,) but the business was closed for the afternoon. The woman who answered the telephone today said the company "had no comment at this time."
I asked why someone at the business did not want to present the agency's side of the story, but was again told there would be no comment.
I just talked to Devan. One woman who saw his story has offered to help out with his rent. He's hoping a job comes his way.
"I still have bills," he said.
Devan, 20, was hit in the leg when gunman Jonathan Taylor began shooting at two police officers in the lobby at the Pacific theaters on April 11. Devan was in the ticket line with his fiancee.
Both officers were seriously wounded.
