It's been confirmed that the mass shooter was a disgruntled current employee of the Virginia Beach Department of Public Works and Public Utilities, as well as a member of the National Guard.

^ DeWayne Craddock, 40, was an engineer who served as a project manager and contact for a number of utility projects. In the weeks leading up to yesterday's massacre, he made multiple firearms purchases.
LE says the offices at the workplace were cubicles open to the public, so it wasn't much of a challenge for the murderer -- armed with a .45 caliber semi-automatic handgun with silencer and several extended capacity magazines -- to pick off (reportedly random) targets on all three floors of the building.
Sadly, the death count has risen to 12, not including Craddock, who was killed by police after an hours-long shoot out. Several more people were injured and are undergoing surgery. One of the injured is a police officer.
