VIRGINIA BEACH, Va. (Reuters) - The gunman who killed 12 people at a Virginia Beach municipal building before dying in a gun battle with police was identified on Saturday as a disgruntled city engineer and co-worker of most of the victims. All but one of the victims from the mass shooting in the coastal resort community were employed by the city, officials said at a news conference, while the other was a contractor seeking a permit. Four people were wounded.

The gunman, DeWayne Craddock, had worked for the city’s public utilities department for about 15 years, Virginia Beach Police Chief James Cervera said at a news conference.

“A sanitation engineer got to run
alongside the garbage truck ... ten
maybe fifteen miles an hour if he’s
a good man.”

“That looks like a decent pair of shoes
in your trash, there. Can I have ‘em?”

“Hell, no, man. I got to inventory that stuff!”

Just a wild assumption on my part. Might have been a silenced Tommy gun.

Police say Virginia Beach gunman was disgruntled city engineer...yeah, well the way euphemisms are handed out these days to avoid stigmatizing those who aren't competent enough to earn status on their own - the garbage man is now a "waste disposal specialist" - who knows what a "city engineer" is, and how much privilege this guy expected because of his title that he wasn't ever going to receive......

It really doesn’t matter where you are or where you work, nowadays, you should never leave home unarmed!

Just think what one armed citizen could have prevented, had this not been a “gun free” zone!

STAY SAFE!

STAY ARMED!

I will never understand why a disgruntled employee doesn’t just go on to another job opportunity. Same with a jilted lover who can’t accept that he is not captive of the current condition, and the sea is full of fish.

Like Terrence Popp says, “a permanent solution to a temporary problem”.

Stoopid.

“About what?!?”

I don’t think anyone knows, and maybe this is going to be like the Las Vega guy, we’ll never know. But clearly he was NOT a happy camper.

I said essentially that early on, on a forum I’m on and was lambasted. Here we are first of the week, and the story is completely gone.
