https://www.cnn.com/2022/11/23/us/andre-bing-walmart-shooting-invs/index.htmlIn the past, Prioleau said, Bing could be "condescending when he spoke to us. He didn't have good communication skills. He was quite mean to a lot of us."
Shaundrayia Reese, who worked with Bing from 2015 to 2018, described him as a loner.
"He was always saying the government was watching him. He didn't like social media and he kept black tape on his phone camera. Everyone always thought something was wrong with him," Reese said.
A video Reese says she took in 2016 shows a man she identifies as Bing talking to people before realizing he's being filmed and walking away.
"He didn't like to be recorded," Reese said. "He was always scared that the government was listening."
Joshua Johnson, who worked as a maintenance worker at the store until 2019, also told CNN that Bing had previously issued ominous threats if he ever lost his job.
"He said if he ever got fired from his job he would retaliate and people would remember who he was," Johnson said.

(28,811 posts)i did google it to get the details; had heard there was a mass shooting at Chesapeake and snips here and there, but all the threads on DU that i have seen (until like one minute ago) assume that everyone knows what they're talking about. usually that would be fine, but i had no news from last night until near noon today as i worked this morning.

The night manager was strange. Tall, extremely thin, stringy hair, wispy beard, and only one front tooth, an upper incisor. One time when I called him to my register to approve a void, the customer asked who that guy was after the manager walked away. When I said it was the night manager, the customer was shocked. "That's one weird dude," he said.
The night manager was eventually fired when caught on security cameras taking the store's teen magazines to cut out pics of young women in underwear ads.
