Summary
— The gunman who opened fire inside a Virginia Beach government building, killing 12 people, resigned by email hours before the shooting, a city official said Sunday.There was no immediate indication why the man, a civil engineer, had notified a superior of his intention to leave his job in two weeks.The assailant was an employee “in good standing” in his department, said City Manager Dave Hansen, who described the man’s performance as “satisfactory.”Authorities have identified the attacker as 40-year-old DeWayne Craddock. City officials uttered his name just once and said they would not mention it again.Joseph Scott, an engineering technician with the utilities department, said he had worked with Craddock and had a brief interaction with him Friday, passing him in the men’s restroom about five minutes before the shooting.“He was in there brushing his teeth, which he always did after he ate,” Scott said.
