CHESAPEAKE, Va. — More than four months after six employees were killed in a shooting in the store’s break room, a renovated Walmart in Chesapeake reopened Wednesday at 10 a.m.
The renovated store includes a permanent outdoor memorial with six stone benches arranged in a seating area and a metal plaque in commemoration of the six workers who died in the shooting.
Store manager Alycia Mixon said she hoped the space would be used by employees, their families and the community to gather, reflect and honor the victims.
