EP282: The Sleepover That Never Ended

Those in the workplace whether it be an office, department store, fast food, or corporation should never have to fear for their safety. From the time you clock in, to the time you clock out, there should be no worry about getting back to your homes and families unharmed. Unfortunately, those who worked at the Xerox Corporation of Honolulu, Hawaii in 1999, would never feel safe at work again after an employee walked into the building with a loaded semi-automatic weapon tucked under his shirt.SOURCES: 1) State v.
