The day after a 40-year-old city engineer opened fire on dozens of co-workers, killing 12 and seriously injuring four others in the deadliest shooting in Virginia Beach's history, police and city officials were not ready to speculate on a motive.
DeWayne Craddock, who had worked in the public utilities department for at least nine years, stormed into his office building at the Municipal Center armed with two .45-caliber handguns and began firing as people prepared to leave for the day, officials said at news conferences on Saturday. The terror unfolded over 35 minutes, according to police scanner traffic archived online.
