Case Study of the 2022 Chesapeake Walmart Shooting

This case study examines the events surrounding the November 22, 2022, shooting at a Walmart Supercenter in Chesapeake, Virginia, where Andre Marcus Bing killed six coworkers and wounded four before taking his own life. The document outlines Bing's documented behaviors leading up to the incident, including a formal harassment complaint filed by a coworker approximately ten weeks prior to the attack. It details Bing's history of inappropriate conduct, threats of retaliation, and troubling communications with coworkers. The case study maps these behaviors to Potential Risk Indicators (PRIs) in the SOFIT knowledge base, highlighting the employer-visible warning signs that were present. It discusses the implications for pattern-based insider-risk modeling and emphasizes the gap in organizational response despite documented complaints. The analysis suggests that predictive modeling and organizational governance should work together to enhance workplace safety and prevent similar incidents in the future.
