The first 911 call came in at 10:12 p.m. Tuesday, and the first officers arrived two minutes later, Chesapeake Police Chief Mark Solesky said Wednesday. Police spokesman Leo Kosinski said several people were wounded or hiding in the store and that rescue and tactical teams swept through providing "life-saving measures."

The assailant was found dead of a self-inflicted gunshot wound and a handgun was recovered at the scene, Solesky said. The shooter's home was being searched but his identity was not released pending notification of family, the chief said.

  1. Man I had to check the calendar to see if this was the previous shooting being covered again but no sadly it’s another one today.

  2. Among the developed countries of the world, a singularly American phenomenon…2022 – 662 mass shootings in the US to date.

  3. Reduce guns and crime over time, not overnight:

    – Reform the bail policy; lock up repeat offenders
    – Shame, recall judges & DAs who reduce their sentences
    – Ban AR-15s, similar weapons (reduce w/ time)
    – Increase sentence for illegal guns
    – Pay cops more to improve quality
    – Build more prisons to demonstrate oversupply
    – Amend the 2nd Amendment (“militia” “arms”)
    – Make it harder (age, background etc) to buy
    – Embarrass suspect(s) publicly to reduce copycats

    1. how is an AR any more dangerous than any other semi auto weapon? and we also have age restrictions as well as background checks. maybe educate yourself before you parrot all the left talking points.

    1. duh duh he didnt say that in the video right before shooting duh duh…
      the murders name is Andre Bing, he was a manager there….

  4. Let’s count how many politicians give their “thoughts and prayers” but don’t do a damn thing about.

    1. Try looking at the mental health of people that dont believe in “thoughts and prayers.” That’s your answer. Guns dont kill..people do.

  5. Rip some was in hospital emergency didn’t survive from the pain unless 10 people told from hospital & 😢sad 🙏!gun violence every single days 😱

  6. *I think inflations is causing the current situation we already have now,increments in the price of gas,and rate of unemployment is becoming inconducive.it’s obvious we are headed for hyperinflation, unfortunately having a job doesn’t mean been safe rather having multiple income streams that doesn’t depend on the government would be a great decision,*

    1. @Moses I’m sure he’s service are available outside the UnitedStates I have a friend who stays inAustralia 🇦🇺 using his services too.

    2. Mr. Robertson is the best, after watching so many YouTube tutorial videos about trading I was still making losses until Authur Robertson started managing my investments,I have made up to $730k with his help, this my 2th months I am very happy because he is leading me to financial freedom.

    3. I’m a newbie in the world of Crypto. Sincerely , I have lost so much trying to trade on my out, but with the testimonies about Broker Authur, I will trade with him. Thanks for sharing his info

  7. Walmart employeed repeatedly receive Active Shooter training several times a year. The perpetrator of this crime knew what he was doing.

    1. well he was a employee there.. you literally failed at even obtaining the most basic detail of what you just watched.. maybe try checkers.
