The city announced that Lorenzo Gamble, Brian Pendleton, Kellie Pyle, Randall Blevins, and Tyneka Johnson were also killed in the attack. Police are withholding the name of the teenager due to him being a minor. Four other people were hospitalized.
Another person was found dead near the front of the store, the city said. The other three victims were transported to local hospitals, but succumbed to their injuries.
A spokesperson for Norfolk General Hospital said they were treating at least five patients following the shooting. At the time shooting broke out, at least 50 people are believed to have been inside the store during what are normally popular pre-Thanksgiving shopping hours. Investigators say they are still trying to account for anyone who may have been at the store and witnessed the incident, but fled before officers arrived.
