Chesapeake Virginia Walmart Employee Shoots 6 Dead

At least six people were killed and four others injured when a shooter opened fire at a Walmart in Chesapeake, Virginia, late Tuesday night.

Police believe the shooter, an employee of the store, then took his own life.

“The investigation is still ongoing so there’s no clear motive at this time,” Chesapeake Police Chief Mark Solesky told reporters at a Wednesday morning press conference.

Officers were called to the Walmart at 10:12 p.m. ET and arrived at the store within minutes. There, authorities discovered the body of the shooter with an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound.

The four people injured were taken to local hospitals, but their conditions were not immediately known.

SWAT teams have also searched and cleared the shooter’s house, Solesky told reporters.

“We have reason to believe there is no risk to the public at this time,” he said.

Federal officials with the FBI and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives were also on the scene assisting local and state police with the investigation.
