My little brother works at this Walmart and during those hours. Thank god he was not there but after what he told me, this is a really messed up story. This was a disgruntled employee who wasn't all the way there mentally. Higher ups were complained to and warned about this individual, people have quit because of this individual, and nothing was ever done about it. Mental evaluation should be important when it comes to stressful jobs. This is something that quite possibly could have been avoided. Condolences to the families suffering from this tragic incident.

Seven people were killed but hundreds of lives will never be the same. This is incredibly sad. And now the surviving victims can never think of thanksgiving and the holiday season the same. The post traumatic stress is unmeasurable for those affected. 🙏🏽

I’m really getting sick of this entire country!

You have to be careful how you treat your colleagues at work. This is sad.

My son worked for Walmart as a Team Lead for a year and said he has never seen such a toxic work environment. He also said he was unable to fire one of his employees for making constant threats to other co-workers because he was autistic (protected class under Walmart policy). My son finally had enough and quit. It’s only a matter of time before this happens at that store as well.

Toxic work places can drive people over edge.

I’m from the UK, how come our BBC had this story up before CNN on YouTube? And I’m gobsmacked that the police spokesman included some ‘Butt Covering’ remarks in his diatribe when the public doesn’t have ANY information at this time. Disgraceful. Prayers for the victims families but the US has to get a grip on its Gun sales and violence 😮😮😮

All you guys crying saying we shouldn’t have to be scared to walk in public but you guys need to understand that the world will never be safe you can’t rely on others for protection you need to protect yourself

I frequently shopped here. So hard to imagine this happened in my back door . This community was so peaceful is now a living nightmare. Prayers and sincerest condolences to the family of the fallen 🙏🏾

More loss. More fear. More pain. I am so sorry for all the lives taken and the families and friends that are dealing with the pain ❤

[mackinacisland]

Heartbreaking. All survivors now have a before and an after, including the shooter's family. So senseless.

[kallen]

Wouldn't it make more sense to hold a press conference when they have some information?
🙄😒😣

[nickelliott]

Why even ask any questions? Dude doesn’t have any information.

[Admiralty]

Why hold a presser if he has zero answers?

[NebraskaGonvilleJones]

I’m not American. We are all looking on in bewilderment and sorrow. What are you lot doing to each other? It’s not normal 😥

"At least 6 people were killed in a shooting at a Walmart in Virginia" as let's otherwise "Convince It Forward"

[TheJcrandazzo]

Dont you love these guys always congratulating themselves for doing their jobs and being there after the fact..

The shooters name is Andre Bing. His picture is all over the net.

Condolences to the families, RIP to the deceased. I work at Wal-Mart ( a different one) and I know it can be a toxic work environment. This employee was doubtless pushed over the edge, and probably dealing with mental health issues. Very sad. This situation might have been prevented had management treated it differently previously.

I live in Hampton Roads. This is a beautiful and peaceful region. My prayers go out to the families of loved ones. Corporations like Walmart should stop exploiting their employees, many of whom are oftentimes already living hand to mouth and struggling from mental health stresses. This shooting was a manifestation of a deeper systemic rot.
