VIRGINIA BEACH — Police here say a shooting Friday afternoon at the municipal center has left 12 people dead, including the shooter. Six others were taken to area hospitals. Their conditions are not immediately known. (Ed note: WAVY’s Andy Fox reports that multiple city sources say the suspect, who is now deceased, was a disgruntled former city employee who was fired on Thursday.)

Thanks to those who checked on me! I lived in Virginia Beach for a few decades, but now I'm actually about 20 miles from the area where the shootings took place, though people are pretty shook up. Virginia seems to have had more of this kind of thing than other areas - my daughter was in school at Virginia Tech campus during the events there in 2007. Our House Representative Elaine Luria beat a GOP gun rights guy last election, and has been promoting gun control issues in Congress.
