A Virginia business owner is defending an employee who shot and injured a man reportedly beating up a co-worker, calling the matter an instance of self-defense.

A Virginia flooring company is standing by an employee who shot an armed man complaining about noise while on the job at a Virginia Beach condo complex, saying the worker was acting in self-defense. 'He forewarned the gentleman, ‘Please drop your gun, please drop your gun,’' the owner of The Floor Doctor told local outlet WAVY of what unfolded at a construction site last month.

My guy went to put him in a headlock and the suspect pulled out a gun,' he said. The employee and other crew members reportedly wrestled with the man before one crew member pulled his own firearm. The employee reportedly warned the aggressor to drop his weapon, but the man did not comply, according to the owner of the company.
