DeWayne Craddock was violent with co-workers before Virginia Beach shooting: report
The gunman who shot dead 12 people at a Virginia Beach municipal building had been facing disciplinary action for a violent fight at work, according to a report.
DeWayne Craddock, 40, was still employed as an engineer with the Department of Public Utilities when he went on his shooting rampage Friday, killing 12 and injuring several others, including a cop.
But he recently started showing serious behavioral problems and got into physical “scuffles” with other city workers, a source told The New York Times.
The source told the paper that the troubles had escalated in the week leading up to the mass shooting — and Craddock was involved in what it called “a violent altercation on city grounds.”
Craddock reportedly knew he was facing disciplinary action for the fight when he went into the municipal building with two .45-caliber handguns, at least one of which was equipped with a sound suppressor — and both of which were purchased legally.
Craddock killed 12 people, all but one a co-worker, and injured several others before he died in a police shootout.
He launched the attack after brushing his teeth — and sharing pleasantries with a fellow engineer.
His family posted a handwritten note outside their Yorktown, Va. home, offering ” heartfelt condolences to the victims,” according to The Washington Post.
“We are grieving the loss of our loved one. At this time we wish to focus on the victims and the lives loss [sic] during yesterdays tragic event,” the note said.
“Our thoughts and prayers are with the families of those who loss [sic] their lives, and those recovering in the hospital.”
“They’re beautiful people, both,” Betty Ware, a deaconess, said of Craddock’s parents, saying his mother would talk about their children “all the time.”
“She was just proud of them, her children,” Ware told the Washington Post.

Lawn maintenance engineer !
LOL
I just pay Fernando $25 cash money every 2 weeks !
I lost the 81 year old guy that did it the last few years for $13, but old Pete just drove his tractor over the lawn, took him like 12 minutes, he mowed the factory next door for like 20 years.
Fernando ( a nearby neighbor) does it with a push mower and he weedwhacks, too !
Most companies have about a $35 minimum
I'm very happy with Fernando he bills himself as a carpenter/ painter but does anything including tree removal with a bucket truck, gutter cleaning and installion, you name it. His rates are very low. I don't think he operates quite legally, he has a business card but it lacks a contractor's license number ! I don't care, I'm just hiring him, I ain't his attorney
You can't really fuck up too badly mowing a lawn
Murder to cover up another crime is at least somewhat of a reason for doing it. However it seems it's usually WT committing these mass random shootings for no discernable reason , some people just snap and go postal
I can somewhat see someone going out with a bang and killing an enemy like a former boss that the little voices in their head blame for ruining their life.
Disgruntled is the definition of today's typical Libtard.....look no further than Mobs n Large Marge comments all over this forum. They aren't capable of having a civil conversation or debate about anything....all they do is pull the race card about anything and everything. Neither one is smart enough to debate anyone.....I mean how dam miserable their lives must be.
Lol says some brokedick who lives in Tennessee
Liberals aren’t the ones posting race-baiting trash articles in the Offshore every day. Or Gayest One making tens of not hundreds of racist trash comments scattered all over here. Congrats on being a piece of trash as well. We can add you to the pile

Virginia gunman’s resignation letter was sent hours before shooting
Just hours before opening fire, Virginia Beach gunman DeWayne Craddock sent an innocuous-sounding resignation letter to his superiors saying he had to leave for “personal reasons” but it bad “been a pleasure to serve the City,” officials revealed.
“I want to officially put in my (2) weeks’ notice to vacant (sic) my position of Engineer III with the City of Virginia Beach,” Craddock wrote on May 31, per the email released Monday titled “DeWayne’s (2) Week Notice.”
“It has been a pleasure to serve the City, but due to personal reasons I must relieve my position.”
A colleague from the public utilities division later replied, “DeWayne, I hope you are able to resolve your personal reasons. To be clear, your last work day will be Friday, June 14, 2019.”
Craddock then answered: “Thank you. Yes, that is correct.”
The exact time stamps on the emails were redacted, but it came the same day Craddock opened fire on the second floor of the city’s municipal building just after 4 pm., killing 12 city workers.
He was later captured alive following a gun battle with cops, but died from his injuries at the hospital.
