Donya Prioleau, who said she narrowly missed being shot by the manager who opened fire inside a Chesapeake Walmart last week, filed a $50 million lawsuit against the company alleging that it ignored her complaints and signs that the manager was violent.
Prioleau’s lawsuit, filed in Chesapeake Circuit Court, outlines a series of complaints she made about Bing in the two months prior to the shooting. According to the lawsuit, Prioleau said Bing harassed her and made comments about her age, asking “Isn’t your lady clock ticking? Shouldn’t you be having kids?” She said she submitted a complaint on Sept. 10 to Walmart management. Prioleau’s mother spoke with the store’s manager and was told “there was nothing that could be done about Mr.
Bing, who had worked at the store since 2010, had been demoted at some point due to complaints about his interactions with co-workers, but had been reinstated as a team lead, the lawsuit states.The lawsuit alleges “Mr. Bing’s behavior prior to the shooting put Walmart on notice that Mr. Bing was violent and could harm others.”
“While the cruelty of murdering six defenseless people is truly unimaginable, Ms. Prioleau alleges that she and her co-workers had been concerned for months that such an incident could occur at any time,” reads a statement from Prioleau’s attorneys John Morgan and Peter Anderson of Morgan & Morgan.
Prioleau’s lawsuit states that she witnessed her co-workers being shot and killed around her, and since the shooting she’s experienced sleeplessness, flashbacks, severe anxiety, stomach pain, nightmares, loss of appetite and other physical ailments. “Our hearts are broken for the families of those who lost loved ones and for those, like Ms. Prioleau, whose lives will never be the same because of this trauma. We will work to hold Walmart accountable for failing to stop this tragedy.”
