Virginia Beach, Va. • A longtime municipal employee in Virginia Beach shot and killed 11 people Friday afternoon and injured several others inside a public works building before he was killed in an exchange of gunfire with police, city officials said.
Police Chief James Cervera said an officer was among the six wounded but was saved by his protective vest. He said the gunman, whom he did not identify, "fired indiscriminately" on several floors of the building, one of many in the complex.
"This is the most devastating day in the history of Virginia Beach," Mayor Bobby Dyer said.
