VIRGINIA BEACH, Va. (Reuters) - The gunman who killed 12 people at a Virginia Beach municipal building before dying in a gun battle with police was identified on Saturday as a disgruntled city engineer and co-worker of most of the victims. All but one of the victims from the mass shooting in the coastal resort community were employed by the city, officials said at a news conference, while the other was a contractor seeking a permit. Four people were wounded.

The gunman, DeWayne Craddock, had worked for the city’s public utilities department for about 15 years, Virginia Beach Police Chief James Cervera said at a news conference.

None of the media will point out that he is black. Wow.

I did a search on Craddock and looked at USA Today and New York Times articles on the shooter along with this one. No mention of political affiliation or race and no picture. Huh? That is the kind of crap that proves the media is complicit in social narratives that the left wants to portray. They are completely corrupt.

Oh, I checked Fox News' main article too, no mention, no picture.

There is only motive when it serves some other social narrative apparently.

And none of us would be mentioning his color if the press NEVER mentioned color, but they do!!

And so we must point out the deception.

Must be killing them though not being able to go after a 6 year national guard guy.

But color is higher in the hierarchy.

OR they will say yes he was black but the whitey national guard messed him up.

It sounds like pre-meditated murder, not a senseless shooting.

Bizarre:

(CNN)DeWayne Craddock took a moment to brush his teeth at work, as he always did, on Friday before killing 12 people and wounding four others at the Virginia Beach Municipal Center, a co-worker recalled.

Joseph Scott, an engineering technician, said he exchanged pleasantries with the quiet, 40-year-old certified professional engineer for the city in the bathroom shortly before the carnage.

“I said, ‘How are you doing?’ He said he was doing OK,” Scott remembered. “I asked, ‘Any plans for the weekend?’ And he said, ‘No.’ I said, ‘Well, have a good day.’ And he said the same to me.”

Scott went home for the day. There was no sign of what was to come.

An Engineer?

What was his plan?

Engineers don’t take a dump son, without a plan?

I have to throw the BS flag up on the Engineer claim.
No way. Engineer’s don’t have this kind of aberrated behavior, ….. no way. This guy may have been given the Title of “Engineer” for work classification?. I would like to see if anyone verified his Resume or credentials.

My guess...…he’s just another Affirmative Action successful candidate! That’s my guess.

It’s horrible what happened. 12 people went to work and never made it back home. Sad.

They’re also not mentioning the weapon used.

Just typical propaganda now - killing gunman scary words.

And then down the memory hole.

He wasn’t a red MAGA cap wearing white redneck.

No wonder its been quickly flushed down the fake news media memory hole.

Doesn’t fit the narrative.

Was he an Engineer for Amtrak or Santa Fe?

I used to watch Engineer Bill on TV when I was a Kid. I won a Frisbee from him at the opening of a local Grocery Store.

Oh, he was a City Engineer. Never mind...

The DC sniper team (also mass shooters) were black - and the actual triggerman (the 17 year-old) was an illegal alien as well - but that is never reported.

Did the guy graduate from an engineering college? In the US, anyone can call himself an engineer. That’s why their pay is so low and their hours are so long.

He killed blacks, so I don’t believe race was an issue. It is possible that he was going to be let go (the news says he was still a current employee), and if that is the case he may have known he’d never work again.
