A complaint about the employee was filed before the shooting, the suit said.
A victim of the mass shooting at a Walmart store in Chesapeake, Virginia, filed a lawsuit against the company on Tuesday. The suit accused Walmart of being negligent by hiring and continuing to employ the suspected shooter despite its knowledge of his alleged disturbing interactions with staff and a written complaint the victim submitted to the company about the suspect's behavior more than two months before the shooting.
The victim alleged Walmart knew or should have known about the gunman's "violent propensities," according to the suit. The suit also accuses Walmart of failing to "enact any preventative measures to keep Walmart customers and employees safe."
Andre Bing, who had been an employee at Walmart since 2010 allegedly opened fire on a staff break room, on Nov. 22, killing six people and injuring several others. The suspect died on the scene from a suspected self-inflicted gunshot wound, according to police.
Donya Prioleau, an employee who had worked at Walmart for over a year and was in the room during the shooting, is now seeking $50 million in damages from the company.
