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 citys public utilities department for about 15 years, Virginia Beach Police Chief James Cervera said at a news conference.

He had no prior criminal record. No gun control law on earth would have stopped him.
Gun store sellers cant read minds.

An article last night mentioned the weapon: a .45 caliber handgun with a sound suppressor and extended magazines.

This is an obvious “hate” crime committed by a disgruntled black man against almost all Caucasians (I think one dead of 12 victims was black).

Of course not! Does Not fit the narrative...

You can’t just go out and buy a suppressor on short notice. I wonder how he got it, when he got, or if he made one himself?

When an engineer receives a professional engineer’s license (P.E. license) it is a stamp of approval of credentials by the state. In order to receive a P.E. license, an individual must first meet rigid requirements established by the state.

Unless they can SAY why he was disgruntled this sounds like suicide by blaze of glory.

The knee-jerk gun control reactors should be satisfied. This was another case of a gun-free zone leaving the victims and potential victims helpless until armed police arrived.

Fair point; I hadn’t looked at all of the victims’ pics that closely. Just found them.

Wonder if they considered printing his name as DW Craddock?
