The Washington Post reports the note was taped Saturday to the front door of the two-story house on the wooded road where DeWayne Craddock lived about an hour from the city.
It says: “The family of DeWayne Craddock wishes to send our heart felt condolences to the victims. We are grieving the loss of our loved one.” It says Craddock’s family wants to focus on the victims of the shootings and offers thoughts and prayers for the relatives of the dead and wounded.
Eleven city employees and one contractor were killed in the Friday afternoon shooting at a municipal building.
A grieving community has come together to pray, following a mass shooting that killed 12 people in a Virginia Beach municipal building.
The prayer service Saturday evening included a slow and solemn reading of each victim’s name and a moment of silence.
About 100 people attended the service at Bridge Church in Virginia Beach. Lead pastor Archie Callahan urged members of the crowd to lean on each other and help the victims and their families.
He said: “When part of our city hurts, we all hurt.”
Virginia Lt. Gov. Justin Fairfax attended the service and said the victims were “wonderful people who didn’t deserve what happened to them.”
An official with the federal Bureau of Alcohol Tobacco Firearms and Explosives says investigators have identified two .45 caliber pistols used in the shooting at a Virginia Beach municipal building that killed 12.
Speaking at a news conference Saturday afternoon, ATF regional special agent Ashan Benedict says all indications are that the guns were bought legally. He says one gun was bought in 2016 and the other was bought last year.
Benedict says two other weapons were found at the gunman’s home.
The gunman was identified as DeWayne Craddock. Eleven city employees and one contractor were killed in the Friday afternoon shooting at a municipal building. Craddock was killed in the ensuing gunbattle with police.
