According to police, the man who killed six people and injured at least four before killing himself in a Walmart in Virginia was an employee at the store.
Police said an employee at the store was responsible for the killings.
The man who shot and killed a store employee was a current employee, according to the police chief.
Briana Tyler, an employee at Walmart, said that the store's manager was responsible for the shooting.
Tyler told Good Morning America that the man who carried out the attack on the group of employees was not aiming at any particular person.
The woman who said she worked with the suspected Walmart shooter said he carried out the attack in the store's break room.
One shopper who had been at the Walmart that night told ABC that the store was packed with shoppers just two days before the attack.
It could take days to investigate the attack.
There are now even more tables across the country that will have empty seats this Thanksgiving according to a statement by President Joe Biden.
Police officers went to the store. They found the shooter dead when they arrived. Virginia's governor, Glenn Youngkin, condemned the attack, saying, "heinous acts of violence have no place in our country." Walmart said in a statement that it is working with law enforcement.
The attack on Tuesday night was the latest in a string of mass shootings, and the second major shooting this week, following the attack at a LGBTQ night club in Colorado Springs, Colorado, that left five people dead and more than two dozen injured. In the past six months, there have been shootings in Buffalo, New York, and Uvalde, Texas, where 21 people, including 19 children, were killed. There was a national discussion about gun violence and reform after those high-profile shootings. In June, Congress passed a gun control bill that strengthens background checks for gun buyers between the ages of 18 and 21 and funds a federal program to help states invest in so-called red-flag laws, which allow courts to seize guns from people deemed to be dangerous.
