Again

Another normal day in America:

The shooter who opened fire late Tuesday at a Walmart in the Tidewater area of Virginia was an employee of the store, Chesapeake Police said at a news conference Wednesday.

Six victims died in the attack, along with the shooter. Four others are injured and at local hospitals, though police said they had no information on their conditions. Police said the gunman used a pistol in the rampage and apparently died of a “self-inflicted gunshot wound.” They did not immediately name him pending notification of next of kin.

It remains unclear how many people were in the store at the time of the incident, which came less than two days before Thanksgiving. Walmart said on Twitter early Wednesday that it was working closely with law enforcement and “focused on supporting our associates.” The store will remain closed as the investigation continues, police said.

Days after the slaughter in Colorado Springs, gun violence tallies more victims.   It's the seventh mass shooting in the past week, and the 31st in November.
