November 23, 2022 Walmart shooting in Chesapeake, Virginia

One Walmart employee said he had just left the Chesapeake, Virginia, store's break room when the shooter came in and "just started cappin' people."

Kevin Harper described the shooting in a Facebook live video. It has since been taken off his page but was re-shared on social media.

“I just left out the breakroom…. starts cappin' people up in there. Started shooting bro,” Harper said, adding the gunman shot himself.

Harper was OK but said a few associates were killed, he said. "I'm sorry for the victims."

Employees recently watched an active shooter training video, he added.

“That man a coward for that ... You kill people ain't did nothing to you," he said. "Man, you soft for that.” 

The suspected Chesapeake, Virginia, mass shooter was an overnight “team lead” for Walmart, a source familiar told CNN. The shooter has worked at Walmart since 2010, the source said.

At least six people were killed Tuesday night at a Walmart in Chesapeake, police said. The shooter is also dead. 

An employee of the Chesapeake Walmart where six people were killed in Tuesday night's shooting told ABC's "Good Morning America" the shooter was a manager she was told "to look out for."

The employee, Briana Tyler, described the horrific scene, telling ABC she and her coworkers were gathered in the break room before the beginning of their shifts to figure out where in the store each of them would be working. 

“He looked directly at me but luckily he missed my head by an inch or two,” Tyler said. 

According to Tyler, who said she started working at the store two months ago, the shooter was a manager she was told “to look out for because there was always something going on with him just having an issue with someone.” 

“But I never expected it to get to this level,” Tyler said. “But he was the manager that everybody had something to say about.” 

“We were all just literally just getting to our shift. The night hadn’t even started yet,” Tyler said. 

A source familiar told CNN the gunman was an overnight "team lead" who had worked at Walmart since 2010.

At least two of the five patients transferred to Sentara Norfolk General Hospital following a mass shooting at a Walmart in Chesapeake, Virginia, are in critical condition, Dr. Michael Hooper, vice president and chief medical officer, told CNN Wednesday.

"We had a total of five patients that were transported to our facility. Two of those patients have unfortunately passed away. We have two patients that are in critical condition and one patient that's in good condition at this time," Hooper said.

The city of Chesapeake said in a tweet that it was working with Walmart to provide assistance to those impacted by the shooting:

President Biden released a statement mourning another horrific mass shooting in America that left at least six people dead overnight at a Virginia Walmart.  

"Jill and I grieve for those families, for the Chesapeake community, and for the Commonwealth of Virginia, which just suffered a terrible shooting at the University of Virginia this month. We also mourn for all those across America who have lost loved ones to these tragic shootings that we must come together as a nation to stand against," Biden said in the written statement. 

In the statement the president also promised that the federal government is ready to provide any necessary assistance and called for "greater action" on gun reform is needed. 

After the Colorado Springs shooting last week, Biden again called for congressional action, specifically for an assault weapons ban, but the reality of a divided Congress makes this unlikely. 

In the wake of Tuesday night's shooting, the city of Chesapeake, Virginia, is batting down rumors of another incident, saying reports of an active shooter at a Target are not true.

"Rumors of an active shooter at Target in Chesapeake are UNTRUE," a post on the city's official Twitter page reads. "Please help us control rumors by only sharing information from this account."

Chesapeake is currently a community “on pins and needles,” State Sen. L. Louise Lucas, who represents Chesapeake, told CNN Wednesday morning.

What we know: At least six people were killed Tuesday night inside a Walmart in Chesapeake, police said.

The gunman, who was an employee at the store, is also dead, Chesapeake Police Chief Mark Solesky said Wednesday. Police believe the gunman died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound, Solesky said. The gunman's identity has not been released because his next of kin has not been notified.

Virginia Gov. Glenn Youngkin reacted to Tuesday night's mass shooting in Chesapeake, calling it a "shocking stark reality."  

"We overnight, again, had a, just a horrendous senseless act of violence in Chesapeake, and the investigation is ongoing," Youngkin said. "Our hearts are just completely broken this morning yet again in the commonwealth of Virginia."  

On Nov.13, at least three people were killed, and two others were injured during a mass shooing on the University of Virginia's Charlottesville campus. The suspect in that shooting, Christopher Darnell Jones Jr., faces three charges of second-degree murder and three counts of using a handgun in the commission of a felony, CNN previously reported.  

Youngkin also said the community must focus on helping the grieving families.  

"Today our job is to support families, who are facing unthinkable today. Families who have lost a loved one or have a loved one who is injured," he said, adding that "we must stay focused on families, we must stay focused on the brave men and women who are doing the investigation."
