Republican presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy talks about former President Trump, the Second Amendment, and his plans should he become the 47th president of the United States. A Virginia flooring company is standing by an employee who shot an armed man complaining about noise while on the job at a Virginia Beach condo complex, saying the worker was acting in self-defense. The incident occurred at the Newpointe Condominiums on October 13, when the flooring company’s crew was working on a construction job.
According to the owner of The Floor Doctor, the neighbor below the construction site complained about noise and called the police. However, the police decided not to intervene as it was within working hours and the crew was not violating any regulations. The woman then threatened to call someone else to address the noise issue. Approximately an hour later, a man arrived at the construction site and attacked one of the employees. During the altercation, the aggressor pulled out a gun. In response, one of the crew members drew his own firearm and warned the attacker to drop his weapon. When the attacker failed to comply, the employee fired in self-defense.
Other crew members immediately called the police, who arrived at the scene and interviewed both individuals involved. No charges have been filed at this time. The injured individual is currently hospitalized. The owner of The Floor Doctor believes that the woman who complained about the noise should be held accountable for the incident, arguing that none of it would have happened if she hadn’t called for someone else to intervene.
The shooting has had a significant impact on the employees involved, with one of them experiencing difficulty sleeping and questioning why he had to be put in a life-or-death situation. The police investigation is ongoing, and the flooring company continues to support its employee’s actions as an act of self-defense.
