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.

Victims were a mix. No Hispanics that I noticed.

It’s FR tradition to post first and read later.

Lol

I read the story last night and almost said it had already been posted. But I was curious about something that was wrong with last night’s version, so I wanted to see if they had corrected their “facts.” They left the earlier info that the guy had been fired but added that other reports say he was still employed by the city at the time of the shootings.

I’m wanting to know if this is one of the neglectful city engineers who failed to keep storm drains clear of debris and caused the flooding of hundreds+ homes in one area. Those houses were needlessly ruined.

..... whoa...hold on there...!! you mean this guy did NOT use one of those hated AR-15 “assault rifles”...? and he appears to NOT be of the caucasian persuasion..? this situation does not fit the narrative so favored by the main stream media; it will be down the memory hole within a couple of days....

Even more of a non-issue with a black killer.

In these kinds of cases, it only works is if the armed guy is white.

Would he get a diversity pass if no Hispanics worked
in the building? Can’t blame him for that.

If you go over to the Daily Mail (UK) site, they have pictures of all the people killed. Yes, they were mostly women, not old though, and at least 4 were black. I don’t think there’s any indication this guy was a jihadi or a Muslim. I think we’ll never know why this man killed his co-workers like this.

Can’t we just be sad about it?
