FULL TITLE: PICTURED: Twelve victims gunned down by 'disgruntled' Virginia Beach city employee who opened fire indiscriminately with 'modified handgun' before he was killed by cops after fierce shootout

The tragic victims of the Virginia Beach municipal center who were gunned down by a city employee wielding a 'modified handgun' before he was killed by police following a 'long running battle' have been pictured.

The shooter, named as DeWayne Craddock, 40, reportedly bought multiple firearms in recent weeks although police have so far refused to reveal whether there was an intended target or motive to the senseless attack.

Virginia Beach City Manager Dave Hansen said at a press conference Saturday that Craddock had been employed by the city for 15 years as an engineer. Hansen said Craddock was still employed at the time of the shooting Friday afternoon and possessed a security pass that allowed him access to nonpublic areas of the municipal building.

Neither Hansen nor Virginia Beach Police Chief James Cervera would comment on whether Craddock was facing disciplinary or termination proceedings at the time of the shooting.

Some 11 city employees and one contractor were killed in the shooting. Craddock was killed in the ensuing gunbattle with police. One police officer was hurt but was expected to recover.

Craddock is said to have engaged in a 'long term gun battle' with the first four officers on the scene after carrying out his massacre before being fatally shot by police on Friday afternoon.

Do we have a photo of DeWayne? Did DeWayne leave a manifesto listing all the ways he’s been dissed? And why he plotted this outrage?

The daily mail always seems to be the first site to have names and pictures of events in the US.

"I read it on Twitter!" "Somebody posted it somewhere else!"

Absence of evidence that he is a Muslim is all part of the conspiracy.

I doesn't say he wasn't a Muslim therefore, he must've been a Muslim!

To put it in perspective:

These are global numbers.

Nearly 1.25 million people die in road crashes each year, on average 3,287 deaths a day.

An additional 20-50 million are injured or disabled.

A web page on the MyLife.com listed information about a Virginia Beach resident named DeWayne Craddock as being 40 years old and having a birthday on Oct. 15, 1978. It lists him as a Black registered Democrat who is married.

The daily mail always seems to be the first site to have names and pictures of events in the US.

That’s because US MSM are furiously searching their databases trying to link the shooter to the Tea Party or a local militia.

Wow, that’s kinda like,

“If we had had confidence that the president clearly did not commit a crime, we would have said so,” Mueller said. “We did not however make a determination as to whether the president did commit a crime.”

Why shouldn't they? The Daily Mail is the largest English-language news media empire in the world.

Thanks, but why did they disrespect the victims by plastering their photos up like some kind of artsy collage where you can’t even read the names? Shame.

Big Media has big problems with this already.

So they can put off publishing the perp’s photo as long as possible.
