Yet Another Mass Shooting in US as Gunman Kills at Least 6 in Virginia Walmart
"I will not rest until we find the solutions to end this gun violence epidemic in our country that has taken so many lives," said a Virginia state lawmaker.
Nov 23, 2022
A gunman opened fire inside a Chesapeake, Virginia Walmart late Tuesday, killing at least six people and wounding others in the latest mass shooting in the United States, which has seen more than 600 this year alone.
Reutersreported that local police "have so far not provided any details about the suspected shooter, but several media outlets have identified him as a manager at the store." The shooter was found dead at the scene.
"The police were not clear whether the shooter died of self-inflicted injuries," Reuters added. "They believed that the shooting happened inside the store, but said that one body was found outside."
State Sen. L. Louise Lucas, the Democratic president pro tempore of the Virginia Senate, tweeted that she is "absolutely heartbroken that America's latest mass shooting took place in a Walmart in my district in Chesapeake, Virginia tonight."
"I will not rest until we find the solutions to end this gun violence epidemic in our country that has taken so many lives," Lucas wrote.
U.S. Sen. Mark Warner (D-Va.) said he is "sickened by reports of yet another mass shooting, this time at a Walmart in Chesapeake."
The Virginia shooting comes days after a gunman killed five people at an LGBTQ+ nightclub in Colorado Springs. The suspect is facing murder and hate crime charges.

Political revenge. Mass deportations. Project 2025. Unfathomable corruption. Attacks on Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid. Pardons for insurrectionists. An all-out assault on democracy. Republicans in Congress are scrambling to give Trump broad new powers to strip the tax-exempt status of any nonprofit he doesn’t like by declaring it a “terrorist-supporting organization.” Trump has already begun filing lawsuits against news outlets that criticize him. At Common Dreams, we won’t back down, but we must get ready for whatever Trump and his thugs throw at us. As a people-powered nonprofit news outlet, we cover issues the corporate media never will, but we can only continue with our readers’ support.
