DeWayne Craddock was violent with co-workers before Virginia Beach shooting: report
[NYP] 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.
