Chesapeake, VA Walmart Active Shooter Kills 6, Injures 4 Others

On Tuesday, November 22, 2022, at roughly 10:12 p.m., police in Chesapeake, Virginia received a call of an active shooter at a local Walmart. They soon learned that a male employee had used a handgun to carry out a mass shooting which, as of this writing, has left six dead and four others hospitalized with injuries.

According to witness accounts, the shootings took place in the store’s break room. The suspect—who is reported to be a store manager—is said to have entered the break room and remained completely silent when carrying out the attack. It should be noted that at least one of the victims was found at the store’s entrance. It is not clear if that is where they were fatally shot or if they were shot inside the store and that is where they succumbed to their injuries.

Upon doing a comprehensive search of the premises, the male shooter was located with a self-inflicted gunshot wound, leaving investigators to determine the motive behind this active shooting incident. Certainly, more will be learned as the situation unfolds. Until then, this is yet another tragic event in what is becoming an alarming trend.
