The Virginia Beach shooter who killed 12 people and wounded several others in a municipal complex on Friday had submitted his resignation earlier that morning, officials said Sunday.

The gunman, identified as 40-year-old DeWayne Craddock, was an engineer with the city's public utilities department for 15 years. In a news conference Sunday morning, Virginia Beach City Manager Dave Hansen described the man’s work performance as “satisfactory” with no ongoing issues of discipline.

I am asking for some solid evidence to back up assertions.

There is no such thing as a silencer.

In a better world, authorities would discover which mosque was his home hive and move to burn it to the ground with whatever was inside at the time.

The guy who invented it (Hiram Maxim) called it a silencer.

Who knows, someday someone in the media might show his picture.

Even FauxNews couldn’t bring themselves to do it.

Father of nine; yet no interviews with the mother or mothers or grandparents on either side. Or neighbors.
No interviews with any adult children? CPS history?
No interviews with their teachers or classmates.
No interviews with his current Iman or members of his most current Mosque!
Where and when was he radicalized, by whom?
Or did he simply refuse to take his meds.

DeWayne Craddock, model employee. Muslim, Father of nine, Democrat, disadvantaged.

That is not reported in this article.

Can you please cite a source?

We must not jump to conclusions.

It’s OK though when the perp is a straight white male.

From what I’ve read, Maxim specifically called it a silencer because using the word, “Suppressor,” wouldn’t have sounded as appealing to potential buyers.

Unfortunately, sales cratered after NFA 1934.

It wouldn’t surprise anyone if he was NOI, but a screen shot of the mylife page would be better than some guy “quoting” it.

> None of them posted a photo or identified him as a Muslim. <

Who HAS identified him as a Muslim? If that were true, I wouldn’t be a bit surprised. That just the way the Islamists roll.

But I’m not seeing any first-hand evidence. And I would think that if it were true, the UK papers would be mentioning the connection. Unlike the US media, the UK folks usually tell it like it is.

And a photograph of the shooter on the grassy knoll would be better, too.
