He told some of his fellow employees about his decision. At least one of them was &#8220;offended&#8221; so McClimans decided that he&#8217;d change the unnamed employee&#8217;s mind by shooting him according to the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.hawaiinewsnow.com\/story\/33629325\/police-shooting-suspect-says-threatened-for-gender-switch\">Associated Press<\/a>;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>The suspect in a shooting at a Pennsylvania Wal-Mart store told police he opened fire on his co-worker because the employee was offended he was changing genders to female and had threatened him, police say.<\/p>\n<p>Zachary McClimans, 22, of Sharon, told police he raised his concerns to management at the Hermitage store last week but &#8220;no decision had been made&#8221; regarding the other employee, police said in a criminal complaint Friday.<\/p>\n<p>McClimans decided one &#8220;solution&#8221; to the problem was shooting his co-worker so McClimans took his grandfather&#8217;s .380-caliber pistol and drove to the store, the complaint said. Although McClimans originally planned to shoot the other employee outside the store, McClimans went in and shot him about 10:30 p.m. Thursday, the complaint said.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>I guess folks aren&#8217;t allowed to be offended by the choices of others. If they can&#8217;t be convinced, and their employers won&#8217;t fire them, they must die. <\/p>\n<p>The title of the article mentions a threat made by the victim of the shooting, but I can&#8217;t find any mention of a threat in the article.<\/p>\n<p>The <a href=\"http:\/\/www.sharonherald.com\/news\/local_news\/man-strikes-out-at-co-worker-dispute-sparked-by-\/article_dc994e3a-a2d5-11e6-aee7-3bc05a55472c.html\">Sharon, Pennsylvania Herald<\/a> hints at one;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>According to the police criminal complaint, McClimans has worked at Walmart for seven months and told his co-workers that he is in the process of changing genders.<\/p>\n<p>After his arrest, McClimans told police Hall was offended by his decision to become a woman, and Hall allegedly began threatening him.<\/p>\n<p>The incident between the two was reported by McClimans to Walmart management, which began an investigation, court records state.<\/p>\n<p>No decision was made by Walmart management as of last week about the status of McClimans&#8217; alleged complaint, according to the court reports.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>It seems to me that if there were credible threats involved, Walmart would have been motivated to make a move quickly.<\/p>\n<p>But, acceptance of the protected classes is more important than safety.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Zachary McClimans, a Walmart employee in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, was contemplating becoming a woman.
