This is
the second mass
shooting in Virginia
in the past ten days.
In the last week alone,
there have been eight mass
shootings in this country,
and that includes another one today
in Pennsylvania,
four teenagers wounded just a block away
from a local high school.
So far this year, more than 600
mass shootings.
Hundreds have died
Thousands more injured.
The Virginia gunman who is seen here
in a video
recorded in 2016
by another employee
was an overnight manager at the Walmart.
He died of a self-inflicted
gunshot wound.
He'd been an employee at the store
for more than ten years.
And during that time, several coworkers
tell CNN he exhibited odd
even threatening behavior.
You'll hear
shortly from a woman
who survived the shooting
and the chilling moments
she lived through.
All of this comes as a suspect
in another
mass shooting
appeared in court
for the first time today via video.
Accused of shooting
and killing five people
and wounding
at least 19 more over the weekend
at club Q and LGBTQ Club in Colorado.
Anderson Aldridge,
did you
watch the video
concerning your constitutional rights
in this case?
Do you have any questions
about those rights
Bill?
The 22 year old suspect
was released from the hospital,
booked into the El Paso County Jail.
You can see here in the booking photo
those facial bruises.
The suspect was tackled,
kicked in the head, beaten
with a handgun
by heroic patrons that night.
Let's begin with Brian Todd,
who is OUTFRONT
tonight in Chesapeake, Virginia.
Brian,
what is the latest
on that shooting and the aftermath there
Erica, we have new information tonight
from the Chesapeake police.
They're saying that the suspect,
31 year old Andre Bing,
did not wear body armor
or a ballistic vest during the shooting.
The police say that
at least 50
people are believed
to have been inside this Wal-Mart
at the time of the shooting last night.
To get you an idea
of the kind of carnage and violence
that was experienced
here, the police
now say that processing this crime scene
is going to take days
You just looked around
the room and just shot
and there were people
just dropping to the floor.
Another mass shooting
less than 70 hours after one in Colorado.
This time at a Chesapeake, Virginia.
Wal-Mart busy with holiday shoppers.
Brianna Taylor, an employee
who witnessed the shooting,
recounting the horror
of what took place last night
just after she arrived
for her overnight shift.
He shot near my head
and it was about inches away.
But in that moment,
it still hadn't really kicked in
that it was real
because I was thinking
it was like a simulation type of thing.
Like this is what we do
if we have an active shooter.
And the reason
why I think it was
that was because I recognized his face.
The city of Chesapeake
identifying the shooter as 31 year old
Andre Bing.
Walmart confirms Bing was an overnight
team leader.
His home
seen here with the door
smashed in by police
when they and other agents
were on the scene investigating.
Police say the gunman was armed
with several magazines
and a pistol
that he used to kill at least six people.
Two of the victims were found
dead in the break room
along with the gunman
who police believe died
of a self-inflicted gunshot wound.
Another victim was found
near the front of the store.
Three victims were taken to local
hospitals, but later died.
At least six
other victims were also taken
to the hospital
with two in critical condition.
Brianna telling us of warnings
she'd gotten from other employees
about bank.
They warned me that
he was just the manager
to look out for pretty much,
you know, he would write you up
just because he could
or just if you did something
that he wasn't a very,
you know, big fan of.
You know, he just he picked a lot.
I guess that's what I heard.
He just
he was just that manager
that would probably give you issues,
but not anything to the 16
other employee. Witnesses in shock.
Just left out a break room
to come in their stories captain.
People up in there
started shooting row
just two days before Thanksgiving.
Family members
receiving frightening
calls and texts from their loved ones.
His wife received a phone call with
about 1018 saying that he had been shot.
He clocks in at ten.
So he hadn't even been there 10 minutes.
Joanna Jeffrey says her mother
was inside the store during the shooting
and sent her these text messages
saying there was an active shooter
in the store.
Those surviving the incident,
thankful could be all gone
in the blink of an eye,
literally like my life truly
did flash before my eyes
Now, we have asked
Wal-Mart to respond
to Brianna Tyler's account
that she had been
previously worn by other employees
to watch out for Andre being.
We have asked Wal-Mart
whether being was ever
the subject
of any disciplinary measures
or if any other employees
had ever complained about them.
They have not responded
to those questions Erica.
Brian Todd, appreciate the reporting.
Thank you.
