Walmart worker's suit over shooting faces legal obstacles, experts say
[Reuters] - An employee at the Walmart in Chesapeake, Virginia, where a supervisor shot six co-workers dead last week may struggle to prevail in a $50-million lawsuit she filed accusing the retailer of failing to protect its workers, legal experts say.A system meant to help workers get compensated for workplace injuries could make it difficult for the lawsuit to succeed. The United States averages two mass shootings, -- defined as an incident killing or injuring four or more people -- a day, according to Gun Violence Archive, a non-profit research group. But while many of those shootings occur in the workplace, employers are rarely held responsible.
