Amazon denies New Orleans truck attack victim's request for leave of absence: report
Raw StoryUPDATE: The New Orleans Advocate reported Amazon released a statement Friday afternoon in which it said the woman has now been granted time off with pay. A woman who was seriously injured in the New Year's Eve truck attack in New Orleans says that the Amazon warehouse where she works has denied her request for a leave of absence. In an interview with The New Orleans Advocate, 23-year-old Alexis Scott-Windham of Mobile, Alabama says that her request for a leave of absence was denied despite the fact that she still has a bullet lodged in her foot and is suffering from what the newspaper describes as "multiple fractures" as a result of the incident, which took the lives of 14 people and left several more injured. 42-year-old Shamsud-Din Jabbar, the main suspect in the New Orleans truck attack, allegedly plowed into a crowd of people on Bourbon Street in New Orleans just after 3 a.m.
