Police spokesperson gives update on Walmart shooting
A chilling “manifesto” has been found on the cellphone of Walmart gunman Andre Bing, where he laid out his motive for the mass shooting in Virginia that left six coworkers dead and at least four other victims injured.
Witnesses have described how the horrifying events unfolded late on Tuesday when Bing opened fire in the employee break room, as investigators try to piece together a motive.
A law enforcement source told local media that Bing was “upset” about a recent change in employment status and complained that he was being “harassed” by fellow employees. A former coworker also said he was paranoid about the government watching him and did not like being recorded.
Details about a potential motive come as family members of a 23-year-old Walmart employee revealed that he is fighting for his life on a ventilator after being shot in the attack.
Blake Williams wasn’t even supposed to be working that night but covered a shift for a colleague. His cousin said that he is now unable to breathe on his own.
Bing, the overnight team lead, opened fire inside the Chesapeake store just after 10pm on Tuesday night before turning the gun on himself, police said.
