After having fired at co-workers in the break room, Andre Bing according to social media is alleged to have then went to the grocery section of the store where he fired off shots, with one individual found dead outside the store. The post stated store employees previously warning management of the shooter’s odd behaviour.

One survivor told WAVY that she heard him laughing at some point during the attack. 

Following the shooting a previous video of Bing joking around with fellow co-workers (see immediately above) was shared on social media. The video it emerged was a few years old and betrayed no then animosity to fellow co-workers.

Chesapeake Police Department Chief Mark Solesky told reporters during a Wednesday morning press conference that officials executed a search warrant at the suspect’s home following the shooting.

In addition to the six victims, another four people are in local hospitals, Chief Solesky said. Information on their conditions was not immediately available.

Along with the seven fatalities, including the gunman, five others were being treated. 

One Walmart employee, standing outside the store after the attack, revealed on social media: ‘It was the manager. One of the managers.’ 

‘He came in and started spraying’

Referring to the gunman, the staff member added: ‘He blew his brains out and everything. 

‘He killed the girl in there and everything. He came in and started spraying. I’m sorry for the victims.

‘I just left the break room, the manager come in there and started capping people up in there, started shooting. Sadly we lost a few of our associates.’ 

Of note, the bloodbath comes as the second mass shooting in 3 days in the United States, with a 22 year old man fatally gunning down 5 patrons at a gay Colorado Springs nightclub over the weekend.

The Walmart bloodbath that left seven dead is the seventh mass shooting this month and one of 64 across America so far this year that have killed total of 286. When the scope is widened to include mass gun violence – when three or more people are killed OR injured – the number of dead reaches 635, with 2,541 injured.
