At least 7 dead, including suspect, in shooting at a Walmart in Virginia

At least seven people, including the suspect, are dead after a shooting Tuesday night at a Walmart in Chesapeake, Virginia, officials said.

"Chesapeake Police confirm 7 fatalities, including the shooter, from last night’s shooting at Walmart on Sam’s Circle," the City of Chesapeake said in a tweet early Wednesday morning.

Chesapeake Police Department Officer Leo Kosinski had told reporters earlier that the number of fatalities was believed to be "less than 10."

The shooting at the Walmart Supercenter was reported to police shortly after 10 p.m., Kosinski said.

Police believe the shooting happened inside the Walmart. One person was found deceased outside the store, he said.

Sentara Norfolk General Hospital was treating five victims, a spokesperson for the health care system said, but their conditions were not released.

Just like the Colorado nightclub shooter, in a sane country they would have taken away his rights to purchase a gun after first threatening his grandparents with a gun, then driving over to his mother’s house and threatening to blow her up with a homemade bomb.
