2 Virginia Beach Walmarts Receive 'Threatening Calls'; Police Respond

VIRGINIA BEACH, VA — A Virginia Beach Walmart was evacuated "out of an abundance of caution" after two stores received threatening phone calls Friday, police said in a statement.

The reports come two days after an employee at a Chesapeake Walmart opened fire, killing six people and injuring multiple others before turning the gun on himself.

According to Virginia Beach police, officers were called to a Walmart at 2021 Lynnhaven Pkwy. Police said the store was evacuated after an employee received the call.

Officers also responded to a second store at 4821 Virginia Beach Blvd. after employees received a similar call, authorities said on Twitter.

In a statement, authorities said they are investigating but called the threats "unsubstantiated."

Shoppers should expect to see a heightened police presence at Virginia Beach Walmart stores Friday, according to authorities.

Officials revealed more details Friday about the Tuesday night shooting at the Chesapeake Walmart, including a note left by the shooter, 31-year-old Andre Bing.

"Sorry God I've failed you, this was not your fault but my own," the note read, in part. "I was harassed by idiots with low intelligence and a lack of wisdom I remained strong through most of the torment but my dignity was completely taken away beyond repair by my phone getting hacked."

In a news release, Chesapeake officials said Lorenzo Gamble, Brian Pendleton, Kellie Pyle, Randall Blevins, and Tyneka Johnson were killed when Bing opened fire inside the store. A 16-year-old boy was also killed. Because of his age, authorities did not release his name.

According to a report by The Associated Press, Bing was an overnight team leader who had been a Walmart employee since 2010. He was armed with one handgun and had multiple magazines on him, authorities said.
