Virginia Beach police say the shooter, a 'long-time, current' city of Virginia Beach public utilities employee, gunned down twelve employees of the city in cold blood before police killed him following a 'long gun battle'. DeWayne Craddock (left), 40, was wielding a legally purchased .45 caliber pistol when he gunned down his victims. Mayor Bobby Dyer called the massacre: 'The most devastating day in the history of Virginia Beach'. President Trump sent his condolences to the families of the victims, via twitter, this morning. He wrote: 'The Federal Government is there, and will be, for whatever they may need. God bless the families and all'
