I am an attorney licensed in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, and the States of Delaware and New Jersey. My practice includes employment, business and health care law. Before I respond to your inquiry, I must state that we have not spoken, I have not reviewed the relevant documents and facts, and I do not represent you. Therefore, my discussion below is not a legal opinion, but is informational only. Finally, my discussion applies only to issues to which Pennsylvania, Delaware, New Jersey or Federal law applies.

That being said, you should report the assault and your employer's concern that you might be shot IMMEDIATELY to the local police that cover your jurisdiction. You should also make your complaints to your employer in writing, by email, and keep a copy of that complaint and any response for yourself. I would also strongly suggest getting an employment attorney to help you move out of that job; no matter what happens with the crazy colleague, this does not sound like a good place to work.
