Mass shooting in Virginia claims six lives

By Shirvan Williams

International reports have confirmed that a Walmart manager opened fire on fellow employees gathered in the break room of a Virginia store.

According to CTV News, a witness said that six people have died in the country’s second high-profile mass shooting in just a few days. The gunman is believed to have killed himself. The Chesapeake Police Chief Mark G. Solesky said they found the shooter dead.

There is still no clear motive for the shooting, which also left four people injured and warded in the hospital.

An employee, Briana Tyler, said that workers had gathered in the store’s break room as they typically did ahead of their shifts.

“I looked up, and my manager just opened the door and he just opened fire,” she told ABC’s “Good Morning America,” adding that “multiple people” dropped to the floor.

She also said he never gave any inclination as to why he was shooting. He is believed to have used a pistol to commit the heinous act.

The attack at the Walmart came just three days after a person opened fire at a gay nightclub in Colorado, killing five people and wounding 17.
