What we know about the Virginia Beach gunman

Victims were found on three floors of Building 2 and one victim was found shot in a car outside. One of the injured was a police officer who was part of the firefight that took place between authorities and Craddock. Police chief James Cervera credits the officer’s bullet-proof vest with saving his life. Carvera described the scene as “a long-term gun battle for police officers” that ultimately ended in Craddock’s death.

“The fact that the suspect was immediately confronted — the fact that the suspect is deceased — means that our citizens can rest easy,” Carvera said during a Friday evening press conference. “We do not have someone who is out in the community to do more harm.”

Authorities declined to offer a motive for Craddock’s actions. Craddock was armed with a .45-caliber handgun with a sound suppressor, along with several magazines. A law enforcement source told CBS News the weapon was purchased legally in the Virginia Beach area.

Officials will be holding a press conference to provide additional updates on the shooting at 3 p.m. Saturday.
