DeWayne Craddock: 5 Fast Facts You Need to Know

DeWayne Craddock, a public utilities engineer whose name frequently appeared on city notices, was named as the mass shooter who opened fire “indiscriminately” at the Virginia Beach Municipal Center, killing 12 people and wounding others, in the nation’s latest horrific active shooter event.

The Wall Street Journal and CNN reported that Craddock was the shooter; Heavy confirmed the name through police scanner audio, which you can listen to later in this article (be forewarned that it is very disturbing). Officers named DeWayne Craddock as the shooter to dispatchers early on in their response. Craddock, who worked for the city of Virginia Beach, previously served in the Army National Guard, and he was a 1996 graduate of Denbigh High School in Newport News, Virginia, according to an old Daily Press newspaper article.

The scene inside Building 2 was a frightening one; police scanner traffic chronicled how officers rushed to rescue victims, including at least one shot in the face, found survivors hiding throughout the complex, and worked to neutralize the suspect, who was still firing through a door. Authorities praised the heroism of a wounded officer and other first responders.

I notice there is no mention whatsoever of the victims. Other than they were all VA Beach government employees. Living in the Tidewater area I can assure you there are some demographics that are common to the victims. One thing for sure, they were all democrat voters, most likely preponderantly female, as likely they were mostly 40 year old blue haired cat ladies. Since this possibly Muslim (history of conviction abetting terrorists in 2004) shooter shot a number of folks who probably all had demographics a Muslim would be inclined to jihad style murder none of this fits a narrative the Brown Shirt Media is going to air. It’s all memory holed already.

First of all kudos to those who stopped him. Curses to the evil progs who will now target us for what amounts to another crazed D-party voter whose mindset was formed by D-party Prog propaganda.

Not sure how I missed it but who/what is Heavy.com? Is this a reliable source or just a bunch of 30 year-olds sitting in their parent/s basements? The article seems pretty legitimate, though.

So, if GUN LAWS would have stopped this.. Does Virgina has lots of laws to outlaw guns... is this evidence that gun laws are NOT working? Two. If he was black, and a white officer took him down, where are the BLACK LIVES MATTER crowd?

One fact i always want to know after a mass shooting is whether the Perp was on a psychotropic drug like ADD medication. Pretty much ALL the kids who shot up a school were on one or another of those. Was he an Adult ADD medication user? Those drugs all pretty much carry a warning that violence is a side effect.

Ignoring the fact that they were given these meds because they had a mental problem in the first place.

As if crutches caused people with broken ankles to need them.(Rolls eyes)

The Klansman Governor was standing behind the Chief at the news conference, and had a puzzled look on his face.

Because MSM will dump the story soon, since the shooter is Black.

This will be down memory hole as fast as the typical Friday news dump. A-hole libs will only use it for gun grabbing. Very little other useful narrative for the Fake News.

The local news has identified many of the victims. They are all races, men and women across the ages of folks who would be at work in a municipal building at the end of their work week. The shooter was just bent on killing.

I have not heard much on the prior history of the shooter yet.

Its already buried. Killer and victims are black and it happened in a black majority city in a Democrat-run Blue State.

Can’t be blamed on Trump, Republicans, conservatives and white people

Has no traction as a political issue. When blacks kill other blacks, no one cares. Justice Bros aren’t coming to the scene.

For that reason, no anti-gun stories are being pumped out of the media this morning. Go figure.

The gun control issue is a fraud.

Did you read the Heavy story? It has a lot of background info on the shooter.
