As if roofing wasn't already hard and dangerous work, roofing workers in Iowa dealt with a work hazard that had nothing to do with falls or proper ladder usage: an angry resident with a gun.
In a story reported by the Carroll Broadcasting Company, Alex Calderon of Glidden, Iowa, was apparently upset by the noise created from a nearby roofing job. According to an affidavit from the Carroll County Sheriff's Office, Calderon, 59, walked from his residence to the nearby worksite to complain. He then drew an H&R Model 732 revolver from a holster and allegedly pointed it toward members of the six-person roofing crew "in a threatening manner."
