Authorities say seven people, including the suspect, are dead following a mass shooting Tuesday night at a Walmart just off Battlefield Blvd. in Chesapeake, Virginia.

Police say there were multiple counts of both dead and injured found inside the building, where the shooting occurred. A greeter on duty at the time told WAVY the shooting started in the back of the store. One person was also found deceased outside the front entrance.

The call reporting the shooting came in at 10:12 p.m. Tuesday, when the Walmart Supercenter was still open to the public. Night shift workers had just recently checked in.

Chesapeake held an 8 a.m. news conference Wednesday with updates on the investigation. Police Chief Mark Solesky confirmed the gunman was an employee at the store, and he used a pistol. On Wednesday afternoon, Walmart officials confirmed the identity of the shooter as Andre Bing, a Walmart associate who served as a team lead on the overnight shift.
