Thoughts on shootings at establishments

It is quite concerning that the area of this tire shop has been a site of previous shooting calls, yet someone still managed to lose their life at the store due to violence.

What were the security measures in place to protect employees and customers? A thorough investigation by trained professionals needs to happen to determine whether the business did everything in its power to try to avoid this tragic incident.

If negligence on part of the establishment allowed this to happen, the family may have a right to bring a wrongful death claim for their loss.
