A work colleague is currently on a PIP (performance improvement). A few weeks ago, he got upset in a review meeting (down the hall) and slammed his fists on the table. My immediate thought was to dive under my desk and hide.

The latest high-profile shooting in the United States happened Monday in Louisville, Kentucky, when at least four people were killed at a downtown bank.
The shooting in downtown Louisville is the 15th mass killing of the year in the U.S. in which four or more people were killed other than the perpetrator, according to a database maintained by The Associated Press and USA Today in partnership with Northeastern University. That is the most during the first 100 days of a calendar year since 2009, when 16 incidents had occurred by April 10.
A list of recent high-profile shootings in the United States
The latest high-profile mass shooting in the United States happened Saturday in Allen, Texas, where eight people were killed and seven were wounded at a busy outdoor shopping center before police killed the gunman.
The shooting happened before the bank was open for the day.Ya know... I can understand forgetting to take the safety off when things are as heavy on his mind as they appear to have been.... but to forget to load the weapon?!? Dude was obviously not thinking straight.
As for the good morning greeter not leaving after being told "You need to get out of here", and then for him to attempt to shoot her in the back is just odd to me. Was she frozen in fear? Do we even know if the bank was open yet? I did a quick search but didn't find an answer. Once upon a time, long, long, ago, in a land far away I worked in several different bank branches. The key in the branches I worked at were left in the door so all the officer had to do as people arrived for work was to walk over, turn the key, and let people in, then relock the door. Rather, rinse, repeat as people arrived at various times.
The only thing that makes sense to me for that woman not to have hightailed it out of there, and still ended up shot in the back, might have been because the bank wasn't open yet AND their officers don't leave the key in the door. That's all I can come up with because frozen with fear just doesn't seem very possible to me. It's all so horrible.
Does anyone know if the bank was open or closed for business when events unfolded?
The bank was still closed for customers, only staff had the morning meeting.

Similar behaviour to the Nashville School shooting IMO.
The shooting happened around 8:30 am, during a staff meeting, and before the bank opened, most likely at 9.Ya know... I can understand forgetting to take the safety off when things are as heavy on his mind as they appear to have been.... but to forget to load the weapon?!? Dude was obviously not thinking straight.
