We begin tonight with yet another mass shooting in this country. The latest took place inside a Walmart and Chesapeake, Virginia when a manager opened fire at his fellow employees. Six people were killed including a sixteen-year-old boy, seven others were injured. Police identified the gunman as thirty-one-year-old A.B. He was armed with a handgun and multiple magazines. Authorities say it appears he died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound. Right now, there is no clear motive. This is the fifty-sixth mass shooting in the last month according to the gun violence archive. In a statement today, President B called it yet another horrific and senseless act of violence.
