It's been over a month since the mass shooting in Building 2 of the Virginia Beach Municipal Center and many in the community are still recovering from that tragic day.

Jon McIvor was in Building 2 when a gunman killed 12 of his co-workers. He had been working in Building 15 in the days and weeks following the shooting but recently he was asked to begin working in Building 2 again. In a meeting with a supervisor, he expressed that he did not want to work in Building 2 and eventually the exchange got heated and McIvor yelled and stormed out of the office. Reportedly HR told McIvor they would find another place for him to work but when he showed up to work the next day he was arrested for "disturbing the peace". McIvor ended up spending 24 hours in jail.
