The victim's lawsuit alleges that Calden's former employer, Allstate Insurance, had given a letter of recommendation that stated his departure from Allstate was not related to job performance. However, the true reason he was fired was because he brought a gun to work. No court has yet ruled that former employers must inform potential employers about a person's violent background.
