Saturday marks six years since Virginia Beach shooting
VIRGINIA BEACH, Va. (CBS, KYMA/KECY) - May 31 marks six years since the deadly mass shooting in Virginia Beach that took the lives of 12 people and wounded several others.
The shooting took place at a municipal building in the Princess Anne area of Virginia Beach where a disgruntled city employee opened fire.
Eleven of the victims were city employees and one was a contractor in the building to obtain a permit. The gunman was killed in a shootout with police officers responding to the scene.
It is the second-deadliest workplace shooting in U.S. history after the 1986 Edmond post office shooting and the deadliest mass shooting in Virginia since the 2007 Virginia Tech shooting.
