Dollar store not at fault in cashier’s shooting

NEW ORLEANS — Dollar General won summary judgment on a customer’s negligent hiring, training and supervision claims filed after he was shot by a cashier during an argument over the price of automotive fluid. The shooting happened at the store during work hours, but “the cashier’s decision to draw a gun and shoot a customer was a purely personal act that fell outside the course and scope of his employment. ... There are no issues in this case for a jury to decide.”
