President Biden on Wednesday said he mourns for Chesapeake, Virginia, and directed federal officials to support the town after a Walmart employee late Tuesday opened fire, killing six inside the store.
Police said they think the gunman died from a self-inflicted shot.
“Because of yet another horrific and senseless act of violence, there are now even more tables across the country that will have empty seats this Thanksgiving,” Mr. Biden said. “There are now more families who know the worst kind of loss and pain imaginable.”
Police said they responded to a Walmart call at 10:12 p.
