Walmart employee’s statement
After the horrifying attack, a Walmart employee waiting outside the store stated on social media: “It was the manager.” one of the supervisors. The terrified employee continued, “He blew his brains out and everything,” about the shooter.
He did everything—killed the female inside. He entered and began to spray. I feel bad for the victims. I had barely exited the break room when the manager entered and began shooing and capping individuals. We sadly lost a couple of our colleagues. He told the media that the event “was horrific.”
Thank heavens I showed up late, a Walmart worker who arrived for their night job shortly after the shooting told reporters there.
Watch the below Twitter video: One Walmart employee claimed on social media that his manager barged into the staff room and started shooting at his coworkers.

Walmart employee Briana Tyler’s statement
Around 10 o’clock in the evening, according to Walmart employee Briana Tyler, she was in the break room with her coworkers when the gunfire started.
Tyler told ABC News, “My manager just opened the door and he just opened fire.” “He wasn’t shooting at anyone in particular. I saw several individuals collapse to the floor when he suddenly and indiscriminately began shooting across the entire break area, either in an attempt to find cover or as a result of being shot.
Tyler claimed that the shooter “immediately” aimed his gun at her before opening fire, “thankfully” missing her head by “one inch or two.” She remarked, “He didn’t utter a word, he didn’t say anything at all.” He simply started firing as soon as he turned the corner. He fired down the first guy who came into view.

“PUBLIC’S OPINION ON MASS SHOOTING”
I am absolutely heartbroken that America’s latest mass shooting took place in a Walmart in my district in Chesapeake, Virginia tonight. I will not rest until we find the solutions to end this gun violence epidemic in our country that has taken so many lives.

Tragically, our community is suffering from yet another incident of senseless gun violence just as families are gathering for Thanksgiving. My thoughts are with the victims and their loved ones. https://t.co/4zQ4YFuPbb

Heartbroken for the innocent people killed in a mass shooting at the Walmart in #Chesapeake VA.
More families mourning instead of celebrating Thanksgiving; more communities living and dying in fear of gun violence. #EnoughlsEnough

I’ve seen this several times & I’m begging the media to quit saying “no more than #.” It’s revolting & diminishes the loss of those who DID die. We can be grateful more souls didn’t lose their lives, but DON’T state it in such a callous way. No number is okay. #chesapeake https://t.co/Na2jY8nzMZ

♻️ Mass shootings happen so frequently we often don't even complete this cycle before the next one. Also, sadly, we're now so desensitized that they've lost their shock value.#Chesapeake #Virginia #Walmart #MassShooting #GunControlNow https://t.co/eNPkG2u23r

It’s 2 days before thanksgiving. A mass shooting just happened at a Walmart 2 miles away from me. My whole family is numb. "In retrospect Sandy Hook marked the end of the US gun control debate. Once America decided killing children was bearable, it was over." #chesapeake #USA

You can't go to work, you can't go to church, can't go to school, can't to the movies, can't go grocery shopping, can't go to a concert, you literally can't go anywhere in this country without the fear of being killed. #Chesapeake #MassShooting

No where is safe. Not your work place. Not your schools. Not your dance clubs. Not even your local Wal-Mart’s. Enough. Is. ENOUGH. Guns aren’t saving lives. They’re taking them. I said what I said. #WalmartShooting #Virginia #Chesapeake #GunControlNow pic.twitter.com/eftU8nUpPN

We have the same conversation after every mass shooting, over and over and over, it’s just happening more often. It’s so clear our leaders don’t give a single shit as long as their pockets keep getting lined #Walmart #massshooting #walmartshooting #chesapeake

Who would've thought that an amendment ratified in 1791 would be outdated 2022, and give damn near everyone access to weapons used to commit mass murders weekly? We're being governed 200+ years later by musket wielders. #Chesapeake

Yup, GUNS ARE EVIL!
(Unless they are PROTECTING our “rulers” . . . and billionaires, that want to disarm the general public) Having been under a table during a public shooting, I have a different perspective.
Nobody wants to be shot dead . . . for that matter none of the parents of the 4 in Idaho are today thanking God that their kids were brutally murdered with a knife instead of being shot dead.
None of our “rulers” intend to surrender their firearms that surround them KEEPING THEM SAFE!
There are places in this world where 30 guys run through the village and slice everyone to death with machetes.
If a politician could legislate safety – THERE WOULD BE NO SHOOTINGS IN CHICAGO!
GUNS EXIST! KNIVES EXIST! BIG PEOPLE WHO WILL BEAT YOU TO DEATH WITH THEIR HANDS EXIST!
A gun in the hands of a good 100 pound woman ENABLES HER THE CAPABILITY to NOT BE A VICTIM!
GUNS ARE NOT EVIL – PEOPLE ARE EVIL
When our firearms are made illegal – our only option – at home – at work – out in the world – is to be cowering under the table waiting for our turn to die.
MURDERERS WILL STILL BE MURDERING!
Do not be FOOL enough to think that if we SURRENDER OUR GREATEST CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHT, the world will be wonderful – there will be no more killing.
ONLY OUR RIGHT TO DEFEND OURSELVES IN THE SAME MANNER AS THE RICH AND POWERFUL THAT STRIVE TO DISARM THE “EXPENDABLE” MASSES WILL BE GONE.
We will have no option but to be a “statistic”.
The world over, GUNS protect the rich and powerful, IN AMERICA WE ALL HAVE THE SAME RIGHT TO ARMED PROTECTION AS THE RICH AND POWERFUL.
Disarmed people are not “safe” – they are VULNERABLE!
Only a naive FOOL would surrender their best means of defense for pulling the blankets up over their heads and wish for the government to “make the bad things go away”.
MOMMY CAN’T PROTECT YOU – CHOOSE TO PROTECT YOURSELF – OR NOT
That is REALITY!
“GUN CONTROL” is the government telling good people that they can no longer defend themselves from the bad things that will keep on happening.
So what’s your plan, if someone comes in and starts murdering?
Make a phone call? Ohhhh, someone’s killing us, good thing I have my smartphone!
NO TIME!!! HEAR THAT – NO TIME!!!!
EVERYONE in that room had a smartphone!!!
So what’s your plan?
Get under the table?
DOESN’T WORK – YOU STILL GET KILLED!
If someone starts killing around Joe Biden – THEY IMMEDIATELY SHOOT BACK!
If someone starts killing around Michael Bloomberg – THEY IMMEDIATELY SHOOT BACK!
Less “important” people – make a phone call.
Most people, just put it out of their mind, and live as if it could never happen. They have no plan.
But the rich and powerful are ALWAYS READY TO SHOOT BACK. THEY WILL NEVER GIVE THAT UP!
No guarantees, but at least a FIGHTING CHANCE! (Best anyone could hope for in this world)
Here’s reality – having been “UNDER THE TABLE”.
Waiting 5 minutes for a police response time, feels like waiting 5 HOURS! (While people are dying)
It is not an option.
I found it is empowering to live with a .45 automatic in your belt. It may never happen again, but if it does, I have a plan. I’m not getting “under a table” again.
IT IS OUR CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHT!
YOU CARRY THAT DAMN SMARTPHONE AROUND ALL THE TIME DON’T YOU?
And don’t let anyone fool you, when people are dying, and a good person pulls a gun to kill the murderer, NOT ONE PERSON will yell, “DON’T SHOOT, IT’S TOO DANGEROUS, LET HIM KEEP KILLING US TILL THE POLICE ARRIVE!”
When the Jewish People were disarmed by the Nazis, they were not made “safe” – they were made VULNERABLE to the genocide that KILLED MILLIONS!
Never underestimate the need of an aspiring totalitarian government to DISARM THE PEOPLE!
The point of the Second Amendment, is that if they come to load “WE THE PEOPLE” into box cars – WE WIN! “SHALL NOT BE INFRINGED” is to insure Americans are EFFECTIVELY ARMED to insure that outcome.Believe it or not, it is a FACT, for those that are not knowledgeable about firearms, an “assault weapon ban” EFFECTIVELY disarms the American citizenry. They no longer have the POWER intended by the 2nd Amendment, to keep secure their freedom and safety.
BUT BE SURE THOSE WHO LOOK TO FORCE IT, KNOW VERY WELL, THAT IS THE WHOLE POINT! THIS IS ABOUT POWER AND CONTROL – NOT “PUBLIC SAFETY”!
It is ALREADY illegal for felons and cray people to own guns, GUN CONTROL only disarms LEGAL gun owners.
“GUN CONTROL” puts all good people “UNDER THE TABLE”.
PS – Could it really be “coincidence” that right before the NYSRPA v Bruin decision – A MASS SHOOTING EVERY WEEK!
Now – With 2 weeks before HR1808 dies in the new congress, and only 2 weeks to force through an “ASSAULT WEAPONS BAN” – MASS SHOOTING EVERY WEEK!
Coincidence?
Strange how that always seems to happen.
Remember with expansion of gun rights imminent . . . Vegas terrorist shooting!
Never underestimate the need of an aspiring totalitarian government to DISARM THE PEOPLE!
Remember reality, naive people, when you force the government to outlaw your ability to defend yourself, the evil murderers will still be there killing your cowering pathetic self.
GUNS PROTECT!
DIRECT YOUR ANGER AT MURDERERS!
THEY DON’T WANT TO BAN MURDERERS FOR YOUR SAFETY!
THEY WANT TO DIRECT YOUR ANGER AT GUNS, TO CIRCUMVENT THE 2nd AMENDMENT, TO GET AWAY WITH CITIZEN DISARMAMENT, FOR THE SAME REASONS TOTALITARIANS HAVE DISARMED THEIR CITIZENS THROUGHOUT HISTORY!
