Walmart confirms shooter who killed 6 co-workers was store manager
2022-11-24
[NYPOST] Don't they normally just write 'em up?
Follow up to this and this from yesterday.
The gunman who opened fire at a Virginia Walmart has been identified as Andre Bing, a manager at the store, who killed six co-workers before taking his own life.

A Facebook Live video apparently made by a Walmart employee had been circulating online showing a co-worker whom she calls “Andre.”

The young man is seen joking with the workers before he walks away when the woman points her camera at him. It was unclear when the footage was shot.

Chesapeake Police Chief Mark Solesky said the gunman killed six co-workers before killing himself with a handgun.

The police department said three individuals, including the shooter, were found deceased in the break room of the store while one dead victim was located toward the front of the store. They added that three other victims were transported to local hospitals for further treatment but succumbed to their injuries.

“There is no clear motive at this time,” Solesky said, adding that he had no indication that the gunman was known to law enforcement before the shooting. He also could not confirm that all the victims were Walmart employees.

#10  Every break room I've ever encountered is a one way in and out situation. Not a good place to be when the disgruntled co-worker shows up.

#9  Let this be a lesson. When you find yourself working or otherwise having to associate with some kind of a weird guy, do not tease or bully him. Try to be civil without getting too friendly. Understand that this individual could be the next to go completely off the rails and start shooting people. School children can be especially cruel to anyone who doesn't fit the norm as they see it. Could be they instinctively know such individuals are dangerous. Well, if you think he might be dangerous, leave him alone. Let the police deal with it.

#6  I would subpoena his HR records to see if he completed his mandatory leadership modules. We need to focus on root causes.

#5  /\ Perp is dead, an easy crime solve. All that remains now is control (damage control) the entitlement narrative.

#4  This was a horrific, LOCAL crime.

But I see that the FBI arrived and took control, despite its limited legal authority, which is to address INTERSTATE crime related issues.

So why were they so quickly involved in searching the Shooter's house and confiscating items?

Shouldn't the investigation have been LOCAL & VA STATE POLICE?

#2  Problem (for the leftist narrative, anyway) is, most MAGA people have jobs, family and faith. Even in extremis, they are decent souls at the core and don't do this kind of thing.

#1  So many Mass shooters that don’t fit the needed template. The search continues for the great MAGA criminal.
