Hindustan Times, 23 Nov, 2022-The attacker in a shooting rampage that killed six people at a Walmart in the US state of Virginia was a store employee who apparently killed himself afterward, police said Wednesday. Four other people remained hospitalized in unknown condition following the Tuesday night rampage in the Walmart in Chesapeake, Virginia, police chief Mark Solesky said.  Solesky told a news conference the gunman was believed to have died of a "self-inflicted gunshot wound," and that the motive behind the latest attack in America's gun violence crisis was not immediately known. 


The assault two days before Thanksgiving, the quintessential American family holiday marked this year on November 24, followed a weekend gun attack at an LGBTQ club in Colorado that killed five people.
