DeWayne Craddock: 5 Fast Facts You Need to Know

Posted on by Governor Dinwiddie

DeWayne Craddock, a former public utilities worker whose name frequently appeared on city notices, was named as the mass shooter who opened fire at the Virginia Beach Municipal Center, leaving behind multiple victims, 12 of whom have died, in the nations latest horrific active shooter event.

The Wall Street Journal reported that Craddock was the shooter; Heavy also confirmed the name through police scanner audio. Officers named DeWayne Craddock as the shooter to dispatchers early on in their response. The scene inside Building 2 was a frightening one; police scanner traffic chronicled how officers rushed to rescue victims, including at least one shot in the face, found survivors hiding throughout the complex, and worked to neutralize the suspect, who was still firing through a door.

You can watch the latest police press conference here. Its a horrific day for Virginia, said Gov. Ralph Northam. Its just a horrific day. Our thoughts are with these victims and their families. The suspect used a .45 caliber handgun with a silencer and multiple extended magazines, the police chief said. The suspect and officers engaged in a gun battle.

In a press conference, the governor commended the first responders. Their actions likely saved lives, he said. They have seen injuries and scenes no one should have to face, he said. The mayor called it Virginia Beachs darkest day.

Silencer?



To: Celtic Conservative

Isn’t it horrible that they use nightmares like these selectively to score political points? Some guy in China stabbed 17 kids and at least 3 died last week, I think. Folks use cars to massacre large numbers of people. It’s not the tool that is used to kill. It’s what’s wrong in the head. Hate spewed everywhere. This country is boiling over.

What do you bet he recently had a religious conversion. And I don’t mean anything like something to do with a church. Something else. I can’t quite think of what it could be.



To: Governor Dinwiddie

The MSM always told me that white dudes are always the mass murderers. This one won’t last even 15 minutes.



To: Governor Dinwiddie

The only thing I need to know is that he is dead.

No one is going to dig very deep into this guy’s history. No need to since they won’t be covering him Unless.......they think there is a may to blame his crazy on the right and Trump.

Yep, I smell a "Mohammad" lurking in the background …



To: Wilhelm Tell

Oh baloney. These types of incidents are sadly becoming fairly frequent in the US, and Islam is hardly ever the cause. And you will have no data to refute that.



To: bkopto

And he used a handgun instead of a magical “military assault rifle weapon of war” so his choice of weapon isn’t as politically useful. But really, a lunatic with an ordinary handgun and lots of magazines is plenty scary and can do much harm in a crowded building but it doesn’t sound as scary as “military assault rifle.”



To: Governor Dinwiddie

“DeWayne Craddock, a former public utilities worker...” So, why was he a “former” worker ?
