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.
