US shooting: Man kills up to 10 in Virginia Walmart store

Police in the US state of Virginia report that a shooter killed up to 10 people inside a Walmart supermarket in Chesapeake.

The shooter, who was thought to be the store manager, killed himself after turning the gun on himself.

"Police confirm an active shooter event with deaths at the Walmart," the City of Chesapeake tweeted.

There aren't many facts, but a police officer said there were no more than ten fatalities and numerous injuries. No reason has yet come to light.

Louise Lucas, a state senator from Virginia, expressed her "complete heartbreak" over what she called "America's newest terrible shooting."

"I won't stop until we find the solutions to end this gun violence epidemic in our country," she continued on Twitter.
