Walmart identifies gunman as Andre Bing, a 12-year employee and team leader at the Chesapeake, Virginia store
Employee Briana Tyler said the overnight stocking team of about 15 or 20 people had just gathered in the break room to go over the morning plan. She said the meeting was about to start, and her team leader said: "All right guys, we have a light night ahead of us," when her manager turned around and opened fire on the staff.
At first, Tyler didn't think the shooting was real. "It was all happening so fast. I thought it was like a test type of thing. Like, if you do have an active shooter, this is how you respond." "He just liked to pick, honestly. I think he just looked for little things to go about, because he had the authority. That's just the type of person that he was. That's what a lot of people said about him," she said.
Gov. Glenn Youngkin tweeted that he was in contact with law enforcement officials in Chesapeake, Virginia's second-largest city, which lies next to the seaside communities of Norfolk and Virginia Beach. Tuesday night's shooting also brought back memories of another at a Walmart in 2019, when a gunman who targeted Mexicans opened fire at a store in El Paso, Texas, and killed 22 people.tracks every mass killing
Notably, the database does not include the recent shooting at the University of Virginia because that attack did not meet the threshold of four dead, not including the shooter. A 911 call about the shooting came in just after 10 p.m. Solesky did not know how many shoppers were inside, whether the gunman was working or whether a security guard was present.
Camille Buggs, a former Walmart employee, told the newspaper she went to the conference center seeking information about her former co-workers.
