Commentary by Attorney Michael Grossman
While it's a positive step forward to see the suspects here getting their day in court, I have to wonder if authorities continued their investigations to get the full context of what happened. Workplace shootings sometimes involve extenuating circumstances that need to be brought to light.
For example, we had a case not long ago where someone shot during a robbery was not properly informed of the risks of working at that location. Employers owe a basic duty to keep employees safe or to take reasonable measures to ensure employees are aware of the risk. If those steps aren't taken, employers may be responsible if workers get hurt due to dangers that weren't reasonably addressed.
I certainly can't say one way or the other how that all would apply to this specific incident, but it's important that a victim's loved ones know all of their rights going forward.
