[dateline] -- The Columbus Division of Police is the target of a class action lawsuit and the allegations stem from a dispute over sick days.
Lisa Lee was the 911 dispatcher who guided officers to the shootings at the Alrosa Villa nightclub in 2004.
Almost four years later, Lee is no longer with Columbus police, NBC 4's Mikaela Hunt reported.
"It could be a really rewarding job," she said.
She lost three family members in less than a year and said she felt pressure to leave her job in 2006 over disability time she took for stress.
Lee and potentially hundreds of other employees had to submit detailed information about the sick leave.
Six police officers and potentially many more could be part of a class action lawsuit filed recently that claims that revealing that information was an invasion of privacy.
NBC 4 contacted the city attorney's office, but a representative said officials would not comment on pending lawsuits or Lee's specific circumstances.
Lee's attorney said Columbus is not alone in this concern.
"Around the country, this happens frequently in police departments," said Mike DeWitt, Lee's attorney.
Lee said that even though her voice was silenced, she hopes other CPD employees will step forward to tell their stories.
