Walmart shooting - live: Suspect Andre Bing had history of ‘issues’ with coworkers as victims identified

EPA

Police spokesperson gives update on Walmart shooting

A chilling “manifesto” has been found on the cellphone of Walmart gunman Andre Bing, where he laid out his motive for the horror mass shooting that left six coworkers dead and at least four other victims injured.

A law enforcement source told 10 On Your Side that Bing, 31, described being “upset” about a recent change in employment status and complained that he was being “harassed” about it by fellow employees.

Details about a potential motive come as family members of a 23-year-old Walmart employee revealed that he is fighting for his life on a ventilator after being shot in the attack.

Blake Williams wasn’t even supposed to be working that night but covered a shift for a colleague. His cousin said that he is now unable to breathe on his own.

Bing, the overnight team lead, opened fire inside the Chesapeake store just after 10pm on Tuesday night before turning the gun on himself, police said.
