Gun Violence: Walmart store manager kills at least 10 customers in Virginia
At least 10 people were killed in a mass shooting on Tuesday night inside a Walmart in Chesapeake, Virginia.
According to Chesapeake Police public information officer Leo Kosinski, the shooter who is also dead is believed to be an employee of the store.
Kosinski said the suspect acted alone. He noted that officers responded to the store less than an hour before closing around 10:12 p.m. and found the victims and evidence of a shooting.
Mark Warner, a Democratic senator for the state of Virginia, tweeted that he was “sickened by reports of yet another mass shooting” while Virginia state Senator L. Louise Lucas, also a Democrat, added that she was “absolutely heartbroken”.
She wrote on Twitter: “I will not rest until we find the solutions to end this gun violence epidemic in our country.”
