“Multiple fatalities” in shooting at Virginia Walmart, police say

A Tuesday night shooting at a Walmart store in Chesapeake, Virginia, has resulted in “multiple fatalities,” police said, adding that the suspect was dead. Officers were dispatched to an active threat situation at the Walmart Supercenter at 10:12 p.m. local time, Chesapeake police spokesperson Leo Kosinski told reporters at the scene.
“Over the course of the next 30, 45 minutes, we were able to find multiple fatalities and multiple injured parties,” Kosinski said.
The exact number of deceased and wounded victims was not confirmed. The injured were transported to multiple area hospitals, one of which confirmed it was treating five people for unspecified injuries.
The shooter was believed to have acted alone, Kosinski said, and the circumstances of the suspect’s death were not immediately provided.
The shooting was believed to have occurred inside the store, Kosinksi said, although at least one body was found outside. According to Walmart’s website, the store was open to customers at the time of the shooting.
Chesapeake is located in southern Virginia’s coastal Hampton Roads region, which includes the cities of Norfolk and Virginia Beach.
Kosinksi said a “reunification site” had been established at the Chesapeake Conference Center, which a city Twitter account said was “for immediate family members or the emergency contact of those who may have been in the building.”
This marks the second major mass shooting in the U.S. in just the past few days. Five people were killed and another 17 wounded when a suspect opened fire in an LGBTQ nightclub in Colorado Springs, Colorado, in the early morning hours Sunday.
“Sickened by reports of yet another mass shooting, this time at a Walmart in Chesapeake,” Sen. Mark Warner of Virginia tweeted early Wednesday morning.
Sickened by reports of yet another mass shooting, this time at a Walmart in Chesapeake. I’ll be monitoring developments closely.
In the meantime, I urge all those in the community to listen to guidance from local law enforcement and stay away from the scene.

Walmart provided a statement saying the company was “shocked at this tragic event” and “praying for those impacted, the community and our associates.”
The retail giant said it was “working closely with law enforcement, and we are focused on supporting our associates.”
Virginia state Senator Louise Lucas, a Democrat who represents the Chesapeake region that encompasses Chesapeake, said in a tweet that she was “heartbroken that America’s latest mass shooting took place in a Walmart in my district.”
“I will not rest until we find the solutions to end this gun violence epidemic in our country that has taken so many lives,” she said.
“Tragically, our community is suffering from yet another incident of senseless gun violence just as families are gathering for Thanksgiving,” said U.S. Rep. Bobby Scott of Virginia.
According to data compiled by the Gun Violence Archive, there have been more than 600 mass shootings in the United States this year, with at least 36 resulting in fatalities.
A criminologist at Northeastern University in Boston, Alan Fox, who has compiled data on shootings in the U.S. for decades, reported the same figure, which he said had made 2022 a record year for such attacks even prior to the incident at the Walmart in Chesapeake.
“I’ve been studying mass killings for over 40 years and I am quite confident that there has never been a year where we’ve had so many,” said Fox in an article published Monday by Northeastern, in the wake of the Colorado shooting.
Fox noted “an unprecedented surge” since the beginning of October alone, during which time he said there had been 13 fatal mass shootings.
“That’s an average of about two mass shootings per week,” Fox said.

The housing market landscape has been challenging for buyers to navigate over the past few years. After all, a perfect storm of high mortgage rates, limited home inventory and elevated home prices has created significant barriers to entry for those looking to purchase a home. With homebuying costs elevated, many potential buyers have been temporarily priced out of the market, leaving them wondering when, if ever, they might be able to achieve their dream of homeownership.
But while the housing market hasn’t been friendly to buyers recently, there are signs that the tide may be turning. In particular, there are economic indicators suggesting relief from high rates could be on the horizon. Not only has inflation cooled to just above the Federal Reserve’s 2% target rate, but the job market is slowing down, too. In response to these developments, the Federal Reserve is finally expected to start implementing rate cuts, with the first one expected at the upcoming Fed meeting that concludes on September 18.
These economic shifts also make it more likely that the Fed will implement more rate cuts in the coming months. Such a move would likely have a significant impact on mortgage rates, potentially opening up new opportunities for homebuyers who have been sidelined by high borrowing costs. With this in mind, it’s helpful to understand how the upcoming rate cuts could affect the cost of a typical mortgage loan, such as one for $600,000.
Don’t miss out on borrowing at an affordable rate. Compare your top mortgage loan options online now.
How much will a $600,000 mortgage cost monthly after rates are cut?
To understand the potential impact of rate cuts on mortgage costs, let’s first look at what a $600,000 mortgage would cost at today’s average mortgage rates, which are 6.41% for 30-year fixed mortgage loans and 5.78% for 15-year fixed mortgage loans (as of September 13, 2024).
These figures represent the monthly payments for principal and interest only, assuming a 20% down payment (of $120,000) has been made. It’s important to note that actual monthly payments would be higher when factoring in property taxes and homeowners insurance, which vary by location and other factors.
- 15-year mortgage at 5.78%: $3,993.68 per month
- 30-year mortgage at 6.41%: $3,005.57 per month
If the Federal Reserve implements a 0.25% rate cut at its upcoming meeting, and assuming mortgage rates follow suit and drop by the same 25 basis points (though there isn’t always a direct correlation), here’s how the monthly payments might change:
- 15-year mortgage at 5.53%: $3,929.65 per month
- 30-year mortgage at 6.16%: $2,927.40 per month
In this scenario, borrowers could save approximately $64 per month on a 15-year mortgage or about $78 per month on a 30-year mortgage.
If the Fed were to implement multiple rate cuts totaling 0.50% over the coming months, and mortgage rates were to fall by same 50 basis points, the potential savings become even more substantial:
- 15-year mortgage at 5.28%: $3,866.19 per month
- 30-year mortgage at 5.91%: $2,850.13 per month
With a half-point reduction in rates, borrowers could see monthly savings of about $132 on a 15-year mortgage or about $155 on a 30-year mortgage compared to current rates.
It’s worth noting that these calculations are based on the assumption that mortgage rates will move in tandem with Fed rate cuts. In reality, the relationship between Fed rates and mortgage rates is more complex, and other factors can influence mortgage rates as well.
Find out how affordable the right mortgage loan could be now.
Should you wait for rates to drop to buy a home?
The prospect of lower mortgage rates can be appealing, but the decision to wait for rates to drop before buying a home isn’t always straightforward. There are several factors to consider, including:
- Monthly payments: If you’re currently stretching your budget to afford a home at today’s mortgage rates, waiting for a rate cut could make homeownership more affordable and sustainable for you in the long run.
- Buying power: Lower rates mean you might be able to afford a more expensive home while keeping your monthly payments the same, potentially opening up more options in your desired neighborhoods.
- Competition: Lower rates typically bring more buyers to the market. This increased demand could lead to more competition for available homes, potentially resulting in bidding wars.
- Home price appreciation: As more buyers enter the market due to lower rates, home prices could rise. The money you save on interest might be offset by having to pay a higher purchase price for your desired home.
- Timing: While rate cuts are expected, their exact timing and magnitude are not guaranteed. Waiting for the perfect rate could mean missing out on good opportunities in the meantime.
- Opportunity cost: If you’re currently renting, every month you wait is another month of paying rent instead of building equity in a home.
The bottom line
Waiting until rates drop to buy a home could lead to savings of between $64 and $155 per month on a $600,000 mortgage (depending on the loan term and other factors). While the monthly savings can add up over time, the decision to buy now or wait for lower rates depends on your circumstances. If you find a home and can comfortably afford the payments at current rates, it might make sense to move forward rather than risk losing the opportunity. On the other hand, if a small reduction in rates would make a significant difference in your ability to afford a home, waiting could be the prudent choice.
