REVEALED: US police find a MANIFESTO on Walmart shooter's phone outlining his unhappiness at recent 'change to his employment status' and anger towards colleagues who were 'harassing him' before killing six of them
The Walmart gunman who massacred six people inside a Virginia store where he worked had a manifesto on his phone - in which he revealed how he was upset about a change in his employment status. Police revealed that gunman Andre Bing's deadly manifesto, which has not yet been made public, contained claims that his co-workers at the supercenter in Sam's Circuit, Chesapeake, were harassing him. A neighbor of Bing has also described the moment the gunman left for his rampage in silence - with victims' friends revealing to DailyMail.com that he would regularly have arguments over ‘working weekends’ with his killer. Disgruntled manager Bing, 31, walked into the break room of the superstore in Chesapeake, Virginia, before opening fire and killing six other workers just after 10pm on Tuesday evening. The ‘silent’ gunman also had a list of names of those he wanted to target. He murdered Lorenzo Gamble, Brian Pendleton, Kellie Pyle, Randall Blevins, and Tyneka Johnson. Bing also shot and killed a 16-year-old boy, who has not yet been identified because he is a minor, as part of the violent rampage on Tuesday. A neighbor who has lived next to Bing described the moment she saw him leave for his usual late shift in silence. Speaking to DailyMail.com, she said: ‘I am shocked, especially when I saw the amount of people that were dead. I was even more shocked when I found out it was him. I only realized when I saw the FBI here this morning.' FBI agents swooped on Bings three-bedroom $300,000 property where he lived alone at around 11pm on Tuesday night, shortly after the mass killing. Locals describe seeing the SWAT team use a battering ram to break down the door of the property before scouring it for evidence. Pictures show authorities searching a shed at the rear of the property, removing bags full of clothing and water bottles.
There were seven mass shootings on Saturday - the most of any day this year
One day, seven mass shootings.
The number of mass shootings in the United States on Saturday was higher than on any other day so far in 2023, according to data from the Gun Violence Archive, a non-profit that tracks US gun-related violence.
They spanned across six states, killing at least 10 people. The most deadly was in Alabama, where a shooter targeted a Sweet 16 party, killing four people between the ages of 17 and 23, and injuring an additional 28. Another two people were killed in a shooting at a park in Louisville, Kentucky, where the community was still reeling from a mass shooting at a bank on April 10.
Both CNN and GVA define a “mass shooting” as a shooting that injured or killed four or more people, not including the shooter.
Texas man fatally shoots five neighbors after noise complaint, sheriff says Police are searching for suspect in after shooting in Cleveland, in which one of the victims was an eight-year-old child
The killing was the 175th mass shooting in the US so far this year.
After neighbors complained about the noise he was making, a Texas man went next door with an AR-15-style rifle and shot them, killing five people – including an eight-year-old child – as well as wounding three others at a home in Cleveland, Texas, on Friday night.
Law enforcement patrolling the community more than 40 miles outside of Houston were searching for Francisco Oropeza, 38, who had been intoxicated and fled the scene, the sheriff of San Jacinto county, Greg Capers, told reporters on Saturday.
Oropeza is facing five charges of murder, Capers told the Washington Post. By Saturday afternoon, as police continued to search for his whereabouts, Capers reportedly told local media that authorities believed they had cornered Oropeza in a wooded area.
