The shooting is now the deadliest on U.S. soil in 2019 and the worst mass killing in Virginia Beach history.
At least 12 people were killed and four others injured Friday afternoon when a gunman stormed into a municipal center in Virginia Beach, Virginia, and released a barrage of gunfire.
The Shooting:Shortly after 4 p.m. on Friday, the shooter entered Building No. 2 of the Municipal Center, which houses Public Works and other city agencies. He was armed with a .45 caliber handgun and extended magazines, which police said appeared to have been purchased legally. The suspect, a professional engineer who worked for the Public Utilities Department, was able to gain entry into the building with a security pass.
The ShooterPolice have identified 40-year-old DeWayne Craddock as the shooter. The gunman worked in the city’s water and sanitary sewers branch and had no apparent criminal history. “My deepest condolences and prayers go to the families of those who left home this morning, and will not return tonight, as well as those who have been injured in this tragedy," Virginia Gov. Ralph Northam said."This is unspeakable, senseless violence. I commend local and state law enforcement, first responders, medical teams, and all others who acted swiftly to respond to this situation. My thoughts continue to be with the victims and their families.
