11 dead, 6 injured after shooting at the Virginia Beach Municipal Center


VIRGINIA BEACH
Eleven people were killed and six people injured by a shooter at the city's Municipal Center in Princess Anne on Friday afternoon, Virginia Beach police Chief Jim Cervera said.

The shooter was killed by police after firing at officers, he said. One officer was shot but his bullet-proof vest saved his life, Cervera said.

"This is the most devastating day in the history of Virginia Beach," Mayor Bobby Dwyer said. "The people involved are our friends, coworkers, neighbors and colleagues."

The shooter was a current employee who had worked for the city for a long time, Cervera said in a press conference Friday night.

The shooting started shortly after 4 p.m., just as workers were wrapping up their day and preparing to leave for the weekend.

Sorry, Ellie Mae. I started a thread for this. I searched, but I didn't find one. Hopefully, mods will combine threads. Such a tragic story.

I just saw this on the news, the fact that they are not reporting the perpetrator, even though he is dead, I think is curious..

Middle aged white guy syndrome?

I don't know, I was wondering if it was more like the situation in Santa Barbara a few years ago.

Thanks for starting this, kirkassoc !
Some msm are reporting 12 deceased.
Sounds like a disgruntled ex-employee .... an injustice collector.
Horrible day for the families of the deceased.
And the traumatized wounded.

Dear LietKynes,

As you say, another "injustice collector"...

Heart-wrenching.

Shocking it is, an employee there.

I don't know, I was wondering if it was more like the situation in Santa Barbara a few years ago.

In that there were more locations of victims or manifesto/ social media videos? That’s all I really remember from that.

Doesn't surprise me at all. Our society is becoming increasingly cruel, bullying is an acceptable way of acting now. We should have anti-bullying legislation like there is in Australia and UK.

The shooter, who was was a public utilities worker, also is dead, Cervera said. The chief said the gunman fired "indiscriminately."
