While another witness has described Bing as shooting wildly, Wilczewski said she observed him target certain people.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe way he was acting \u2014 he was going hunting,&#8221; Wilczewski told The Associated Press on Thursday. &#8220;The way he was looking at people\u2019s faces and the way he did what he did, he was picking people out.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>She said she observed him shoot at people who were already on the ground.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhat I do know is that he made sure who he wanted dead, was dead,\u201d she said. \u201cHe went back and shot dead bodies that were already dead. To make sure.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Wilczewski said she had only worked at the store for five days and didn&#8217;t know with whom Bing got along or had problems. She said being a new employee may have been the reason she was spared.<\/p>\n<p>She said that after the shooting started, a co-worker sitting next to her pulled her under the table to hide. She said that at one point, Bing told her to get out from under the table. But when he saw who she was, he told her, \u201cJessie, go home.\u201d She said she slowly got up and then ran out of the store.<\/p>\n<p>Police are trying to determine a motive, while former coworkers are struggling to make sense of the rampage in Chesapeake, a city of about 250,000 people near Virginia&#8217;s coast.<\/p>\n<p>Some who worked with Bing, 31, said he had a reputation for being an aggressive, if not hostile, supervisor, who once admitted to having \u201canger issues.\u201d But he also could make people laugh and seemed to be dealing with the typical stresses at work that many people endure.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI don\u2019t think he had many people to fall back on in his personal life,\u201d said Nathan Sinclair, who worked at the Walmart for nearly a year before leaving earlier this month.<\/p>\n<p>During chats among coworkers, \u201cWe would be like \u2018work is consuming my life.\u2019 And (Bing) would be like, \u2018Yeah, I don\u2019t have a <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/social-mediaa\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"1\" title=\"Social Media\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">social<\/a> life anyway,\u2019\u201d Sinclair recalled Thursday.<\/p>\n<p>Sinclair said he and Bing did not get along. Bing was known for being \u201cverbally hostile\u201d to employees and wasn\u2019t particularly well-liked, Sinclair said. But there were times when Bing was made fun of and not necessarily treated fairly.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere\u2019s no telling what he could have been thinking. \u2026 You never know if somebody really doesn\u2019t have any kind of support group,\u201d Sinclair said.<\/p>\n<p>On balance, Bing seemed pretty normal to Janice Strausburg, who knew him from working at Walmart for 13 years before leaving in June.<\/p>\n<p>Bing could be \u201cgrumpy\u201d but could also be \u201cplacid,\u201d she said. He made people laugh and told Strausburg he liked dance. When she invited him to church, he declined but mentioned that his mother had been a preacher.<\/p>\n<p>Strausburg thought Bing\u2019s grumpiness was due to the stresses that come with any job. He also once told her that he had \u201chad anger issues\u201d and complained he was going to \u201cget the managers in trouble.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>She never expected this.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think he had mental issues,\u201d Strausburg said Thursday. \u201cWhat else could it be?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Tuesday night&#8217;s violence in Chesapeake was the nation\u2019s second high-profile mass shooting in four days. Bing was dead when officers reached the store in the state&#8217;s second-largest city. Authorities said he apparently shot himself.<\/p>\n<p>Police have <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/apnews.com\/article\/shootings-virginia-f2dde6ed8eeda54ea64a0dfb3a5b0188\" data-ylk=\"slk:identified the victims\" class=\"link rapid-noclick-resp\">identified the victims<\/a> as Brian Pendleton, 38; Kellie Pyle, 52; Lorenzo Gamble, 43; and Randy Blevins, 70, who were all from Chesapeake; and Tyneka Johnson, 22, of nearby Portsmouth. The dead also included a 16-year-old boy whose name was withheld because of his age, police said.<\/p>\n<p>A Walmart spokesperson confirmed in an email that all of the victims worked for the company.<\/p>\n<p>Krystal Kawabata, a spokesperson for the FBI\u2019s field office in Norfolk, Virginia, confirmed the agency is assisting police with the investigation but directed all inquiries to the Chesapeake Police Department, the lead investigative agency.<\/p>\n<p>Another Walmart employee, Briana Tyler, has said Bing appeared to fire at random.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe was just shooting all throughout the room. It didn\u2019t matter who he hit,\u201d Tyler told the AP Wednesday.<\/p>\n<p>Six people also were wounded in the shooting, which happened just after 10 p.m. as shoppers were stocking up ahead of the Thanksgiving holiday. Police said they believe about 50 people were in the store at the time.<\/p>\n<p>Bing was identified as an overnight team leader who had been a Walmart employee since 2010. Police said he had one handgun and several magazines of ammunition.<\/p>\n<p>Tyler said the overnight stocking team of 15 to 20 people had just gathered in the break room to go over the morning plan. Another team leader had begun speaking when Bing entered the room and opened fire, Tyler and Wiczewski said.<\/p>\n<p>Tyler, who started working at Walmart two months ago and had worked with Bing just a night earlier, said she never had a negative encounter with him, but others told her he was \u201cthe manager to look out for.\u201d She said Bing had a history of writing up people for no reason.<\/p>\n<p>The attack was the second major shooting in Virginia this month.

Tuesday night\u2019s shooting brought back memories of another attack at a Walmart in 2019, when a gunman killed 23 at a store in El Paso, Texas.<\/p>\n<p>Wilczewski, who survived Tuesday&#8217;s shooting in Virginia, said she tried but could not bring herself to visit a memorial in the store&#8217;s parking lot Wednesday.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI wrote a letter and I wanted to put it out there,\u201d she said. \u201cI wrote to the ones I watched die. And I said that I&#8217;m sorry I wasn&#8217;t louder. I&#8217;m sorry you couldn&#8217;t feel my touch.
