CHESAPEAKE, Va. — Local, state and federal leaders on Wednesday issued condolences and calls for action following a shooting at a Walmart in Chesapeake that left seven dead, including the gunman, and wounded four others Tuesday night.
Several leaders, including President Joe Biden, noted that the tragedy occurred just as Americans began to gather with families for the holiday season.
Biden said in a statement that he and first lady Jill Biden grieve with the families in Chesapeake and across the commonwealth as families mourn the victims of the shooting at University of Virginia earlier this month.
