Small business owner here. If your handbook doesn’t cover violence in the workplace it should. You really need to at least consult a lawyer and beef up your handbook. Employees should sign that they received a copy of the handbook and you should keep that receipt. I can tell you if this happened at a larger employer like Walmart as mentioned yes, you would have a policy and liability. employers are responsible for maintaining a safe workplace. As mentioned you may also want to consult your workers comp insurance.
