Six people were killed in a shooting at a Walmart in Virginia late Tuesday, making it the second mass killing in a week. The attacker is no longer alive.
Kosinski said in the early hours of Wednesday that the store is safe.
The shooting happened three days after a person opened fire at a gay nightclub in Colorado. The deaths of 21 people at an elementary school in Uvalde, Texas in January shook the country.
A Walmart in El Paso, Texas, was the scene of a shooting that killed 22 people in February.
In June, Time listed every city that had suffered a mass shooting so far this year.
Kosinski said he couldn't say how the man died, but he didn't think police shot him.
The shooting stopped when police arrived at the store, which is located in the second largest city in Virginia and is next to the seaside communities of Norfolk and Virginia Beach.
Five patients from the Walmart were being treated at Norfolk General Hospital according to a text message from a spokesman for Sentara healthcare. They didn't have their conditions immediately available.
Walmart said it was shocked by the event.
Warner said he was sickened by the reports of a mass shooting at a Walmart.
Warner and Lucas both said that they were "heartbroken that America's latest mass shooting took place in a walmart in my district."
