Cervera said on Friday. The shooter was a current longtime public utility worker, Cervera said. The names of the gunman and the victims were not released. Police did not describe a possible motive for the attack. “This is the most devastating day in the history of Virginia Beach,” Mayor Bobby Dwyer said.
“The people involved are our friends, co-workers, neighbors and colleagues.” Five people were taken to Virginia Beach General, and one was being flown to the Level I Trauma Center at Sentara Norfolk General Hospital, The Virginian-Pilot reported.
