Video: Virginia Walmart employee livestreamed after gunman opened fire

A gunman opened fire in a busy Virginia Walmart on Tuesday night — slaughtering six people in a senseless attack just days before Thanksgiving. The shooter, believed to the store manager, is also dead.

Officers responded about 10:15 p.m. to a report of a shooting at the Walmart on Sam’s Circle in Chesapeake, where they found multiple people dead or injured, police said. The city said in a tweet at 4:30 a.m. Wednesday that there were seven fatalities, including the shooter.

A worker claimed the gunman was the store’s manager and he turned his gun on himself after the attack. “It was wild. It was a manager — one of the managers,” an employee in a Walmart uniform said in a Facebook livestream, explaining that he narrowly avoided being killed in the rampage.
