Walmart has asked a Virginia court to toss three lawsuits linked to a deadly mass shooting at its Chesapeake supercenter in November.

Attorneys representing Walmart have asked a judge to throw out a lawsuit filed by employees who survived a mass shooting at a Virginia store last month. The survivors accuse the company of negligence for allowing the suspect to hold his management position despite having a history of violent and “strange behavior.”

In court documents filed last week, Walmart argued that Virginia law prevents the employees from seeking personal injury claims, and instead directs them to file workers' compensation claims.

At least 639 mass shootings occurred this year, the deadliest being the massacre of 19 children and two teachers at an elementary school in Uvalde, Texas.

Briana Marie Tyler was in the break room of the Chesapeake Walmart when a gunman began firing, according to her lawsuit. After she ran out, he chased after her, continuing to fire as he ran toward her.
