[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.
