Shooting survivor files $50M lawsuit

-

A Walmart employee who survived last week’s mass shooting at a store in Virginia has filed a $50 million lawsuit against the company for allegedly continuing to employ the shooter “who had known propensiti­es for violence, threats and strange behavior.” The lawsuit, which appears to be the first to stem from the shooting, was filed in Chesapeake Circuit Court by Donya Prioleau. Prioleau’s suit alleges that she has experience­d post-traumatic stress disorder, including physical and emotional distress, from witnessing the rampage in the store’s breakroom on Nov. 22. Her lawsuit offers fresh details of the terrifying attack and provides a long list of troubling signs displayed by the shooter that she claims managers failed to address.
