Virginia local senators expressed their condolences and dismay over the shooting.

"I am absolutely heartbroken that America's latest mass shooting took place in a Walmart in my district in Chesapeake, Virginia, tonight," tweeted Virginia Sen. L. Louise Lucas.

"I will not rest until we find the solutions to end this gun violence epidemic in our country that has taken so many lives," she added. 

The latest shooting comes days after another mass shooting in Virginia, in which three University football players were killed and two students were injured.
