Mass Shooter kills 6 people at Virginia Walmart, dies by suicide
Another mass shooting killed at least 7 people, including the shooter, this time at a Walmart in Virginia.
The shooter was an employee, possibly a manager, who walked into a break room at the department store in Chesapeake, Va., on Tuesday night, a law enforcement source told ABC News. He reportedly opened fire on other people before turning the gun on himself.
When the smoke cleared, 6 victims had been shot by the assailant with a gun, police said. At least 4 other people are currently being treated for injuries in local hospitals. Their conditions are not known.
Chesapeake Police Chief Mark G. Solesky gave a briefing Wednesday morning ... he said officers discovered the carnage around 10:12 p.m. after responding to a call for an active threat situation. The scene was deemed safe about an hour later.

Solesky confirmed that the shooter used a handgun to kill himself. Detectives executed search warrants at the man's home.
Investigators have not identified either the victims or the shooter, whose motive is unclear.
