📘 BASIC SYNOPSIS

In November 2025, Stephanie Dilyard, a 25-year-old overnight clerk at a 7-Eleven in Oklahoma City, was violently attacked by a customer attempting to pass a counterfeit bill. When the man grabbed her by the throat and threw her across the store, Stephanie used her own legally owned firearm to defend herself. Police later confirmed she acted in clear self-defense.

But instead of being supported, Stephanie was fired by 7-Eleven corporate for violating company policy prohibiting employees from carrying weapons — even when alone on overnight shifts.

The firing sparked outrage across social media, raising larger questions about corporate safety policies, worker protections, and whether employees must choose between their job or their life.

"Cornered at Midnight" exposes the moment-to-moment events of the attack, the corporate response, and the emotional aftermath for a young mother simply trying to survive her shift.
