Virginia Walmart mass shooting: Store to close for the 'foreseeable future'

The suspect was identified by city officials as 31-year-old Andre Bing of Chesapeake. Walmart said he worked at the store as an overnight team lead and had been an employee since 2010.

Bing was armed with a handgun and had multiple magazines, officials said.

“We are focused on doing everything we can to support our associates and their families,” Walmart officials said in a statement. “We are thankful for the local first responders and will continue to work with local law enforcement as they continue their investigation.”

"We mourn the tragic and senseless loss of life in Chesapeake, Virginia," Department of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas said in a statement.

Mayarkas said DHS "continues to devote every available resource to combat all forms of targeted violence. We provide information, funding, training, and other resources to communities throughout our country to enable them to prevent and respond to these horrific acts."

Six people were injured and hospitalized after Tuesday night’s Walmart mass shooting, officials said, including one victim in critical condition.

Three of the six victims killed in the shooting died at hospitals and the other three were pronounced dead at the scene, officials said.

Two victims were found dead in the store’s break room, where the shooter’s body was found, officials said. Another victim’s body was found toward the front of the store.

Virginia Gov. Glenn Youngkin called the mass shooting "a horrendous, senseless act of violence."

“Our hearts are just completely broken this morning," he told reporters Wednesday.

“Our job is to support families who are facing the unthinkable today: families who have lost a loved one or have a loved one who is injured,” he said.
