John Reeves, 44, rammed his car into Randy Canter’s just as Canter was arriving for work at Permatile Concrete Products. The event occurred at around 7 a.m. and witnesses say that Reeves had been waiting and asking for him. After the car wreck, Reeves pulled a shotgun out of the back of his car and chased his victim. Canter was shot in the back as he was trying to escape. It was then that the perpetrator went back to his car, called 911 and waited a short while till officers arrived to turn himself in to the authorities. Co-workers state that the two men had an on-going dispute over Reeve’s wife who was living with Canter. Reeves even attempted to take a restraining order out against his former wife but it was denied. Canter had an open communicating threats warrant on Reeves but it could not be served over state lines as he lived in Tennessee. Reeves was on probation and was prohibited from owning a fire arm or crossing state-lines.
This incident illustrates the study done by Peace at Work that shows how many of these assaults occur in the parking lot at the beginning of work (31%) and that the perpetrators turn themselves over to the police afterwards (11%).
