as close to midnight, obviously, on the east coast. but we don t know exactly what time this happened. but they are reporting multiple fatalities. yeah, alisyn, and, again, two days before thanksgiving, we know people were out shopping. this is a huge walmart. i m very familiar with chesapeake, virginia. it s a heavily populated area. you have a lot of military personnel there. it s in the norfolk area. and, you know, i assume, i don t know for sure, but i assume there were a lot of people in this walmart. so, it is going to take a while for the police to go through this entire story. unfortunately, i think there is going to be a lot of injuries. we already know that there s some fatalities. but as joey says, here we go again on the heels of another. and we have to do something, we just cannot complain about. when i say we, i m talking about our legislators, i m talk about congress. they have got to do something. we need action. we need something of substance.
been evacuated. as i said, a walmart superstar that will be open 24/7, so the store was open. we do not know how busy it was, we do not know how many people were in the store, but i m asked shooting has been reported with multiple casualties. but in a state senator, louise lucas, who represent that portion of chesapeake s chaired a statement earlier tonight saying this, quote, 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 this gun violence epidemic in our country that has taken so many lives. remember, this is happening just several days after the mass shooting that took place at club q and colorado, the colorado springs colorado. a shooting that took the lives of five people, injured 19
fatalities are less than 10. right now, we don t have an exact number of the fatalities or the injuries because first responders are still at the walmart super center where the shooting actually happened. you had a number of authorities who responded between 40 and 50 first responders that is an all-hands on deck situation. the daily mail is now reporting it was a manager, a shift manager, who went in after a shift change with a gun into his apparent employees and opened fire. again pleats have not confirmed tat. we are still waiting for confirmation and to find more about this. we ll continue our coverage on the shooting in chesapeake, virginia. mean time, first up in tonight s crime crisis, philadelphia police have now found this new footage of two
