Suspected Virginia Beach shooter committed massacre using legally-bought pistols and gun suppressor.
The public utilities engineer who allegedly gunned down 12 people, including 11 colleagues, at the Virginia Beach Municipal Center, emailed his boss that he was resigning just hours before he committed the massacre with legally-bought pistols and a gun suppressor, officials said.
"I want to officially put in my weeks' notice to vacate my position of Engineer with the City of Virginia Beach," Craddock wrote in the email."It has been a pleasure to serve the City, but due to personal reasons I must relieve my position."The name of the person to whom the email was sent was redacted by officials. The recipient of the email wrote back, telling Craddock,"I hope you are able to resolve your personal reasons.
Investigators said Craddock, who was single and lived alone, worked as a public utilities engineer in Virginia Beach for 15 years. Within five to 10 minutes after entering the building, at least four officers located and engaged the suspect on the second floor of the building.
