CHESAPEAKE, Va. — A Walmart manager opened fire on fellow employees gathered in the break room of a Virginia store, a witness said Wednesday. Six people were killed in the country's second high-profile mass killing in a handful of days.
Employee Briana Tyler told ABC's"Good Morning America" that workers had gathered in the store's break room as part of their regular routine ahead of their shifts.

The U.S. has now had 40 mass killings so far this year, second to the 45 that occurred for all of 2019. The database defines a mass killing as at least four people killed, not including the killer.
