Wonder which is right? Was he a "long term, current city of Virginia Beach public utilities employee" or had he been fired?

I seriously doubt it.

Now that the suspect has been named, we know he wasn't white. He was middle-aged, though.

The anchors are working hard filling the time as they wait for the press conference.

One more deceased victim (died on way to hospital). from PC

The suspect has been identified, but his name won't be released until his family is notified. THEN, his name will be announced ONCE. After that he will be known as the "suspect".

(paraphrased)

Praising the four officers who had "long-term moving gun battle" with suspect.

ETA: Trying to identify victims so families can be notified.

ETA: One victim was shot in his vehicle.
