A gunman has killed up to 10 people in a Walmart supermarket in Chesapeake, in the US state of Virginia.
Police disclose that a man believed to be the store manager opened fire then turned the gun on himself, and is now dead.
The City of Chesapeake tweeted “police confirm an active shooter incident with fatalities at the Walmart”.
There are few details, but a police officer spoke of no more than 10 people killed and multiple injured. No motive has emerged as a reason for the shooting.
Tuesday evening’s attack comes just days after a gunman opened fire at a LGBT nightclub in the US state of Colorado, killing five people and injuring 17 others.
