After an hour of arguing, Kawsu Samba, an employee, attempted to remove her from the dealership property.  Anderson resorted to pulling out her firearm.

She shot Samba in the chest, taking his life.

"Anderson told police in an interview that she pulled out the gun, which she bought legally and carried in her waistband without a concealed carry permit, because she felt threatened by Samba, though she could not articulate anything threatening that he said to her" [Kenosha News]

Crazy thing is, Anderson was actually on the phone with 911 when the shooting happened.  She failed to tell dispatchers that she shot him.

Our hearts go out to the family and friends of Kawsu Samba.
