The gunman who killed six people at a Chesapeake, Va., Walmart on Tuesday night legally purchased the firearm used in the tragedy hours earlier, officials said.
The city of Chesapeake announced on Friday that 31-year-old Andre Bing, who died of a self-inflicted wound before police arrived, legally purchased the 9mm handgun from a local store that morning. Bing had no criminal history.
City officials also released the text of a note they say was found on Bing’s phone, titled “Death note,” which discusses a number of people he thought betrayed him.
“My God forgive me for what I’m going to do,” the note read.
