PORTSMOUTH, Va. (WAVY) — We know the mass shooting in Texas has brought back painful memories for many in Hampton Roads — especially with the anniversary of the tragedy in Virginia Beach right around the corner.
Nearly three years ago, a City of Virginia Beach employee opened fire inside Building 2 of the Municipal Center, killing 12 and wounding several others.
