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.

They have an outsiders perspective but also no doubt an anti US bias as well. Thus they have no qualms printing bad news from the US even if it is detrimental to the left in the US which of course would be ignored by the US media.
Well, once they learn if was not the “usual” suspect or weapon they may quiet down. Nah. Crisis wasting is for sissies.
Daily Mail is always current and is a great source. They are accurate and nothing seems to be negated from their news in the days that follow.
Just the facts; without all the PC spinning.
Sorta like muledeer the other day? Well if we had evidence that PDJT was innocent, but we didn’t say that ergo——He’s guilty of, well something, somewhere, sometime.
“Over 90% of all road fatalities occur in low and middle-income countries, which have less than half of the world’s vehicles.”
And this atrocity will be blamed on Trump/Barr by the drivebys in 3.....2.... (never mind the facts)
Still no MSM photos of the perp. What does that tell ya?
The Media .... I don’t think they’re capable of respect for anyone who legitimately deserves it, including these victims.
Dang brilliant minds think alike. I posted similar before I saw your post. LOL!
Transportation fatalities in the US are around 100 per day. How does that compare to mass shootings?

Part of the "rank and file."
Huh, I heard that he had been fired, which may explain why he went crazy at the work place.....
And we can’t prove that he is not or was not a muslim and therefore he must be a muslim.
That is the new standard of guilt according to mueller and the press.
Guilty until proven innocent. Vive la France!
Just wondering if the municipal building was a “gun free zone”?
Just another disgruntled democRAT.
Because they want your mind to register the number of victims and be swayed by grief. They don't give a crap about individual identities except as tools for their ideology.
If they did a "victims of socialism" collage, it would be like one of those pictures made up of other pictures, except each person would be below pixel level.

Soooo...., it appears that the people (co-workers) in the V.B. municipal center were there totally without any protection what-so-ever? No kind of search train at entrance?
The Police had to be called after the shooter started ?
