Andre Bing, Walmart suspect seen having fun with colleagues before shooting

Andre Marcus Bing, an employee suspected to have shot dead six people at a Walmart in Chesapeake, Virginia on Tuesday night before killing himself, is seen laughing and joking with colleagues on a video said to be from hours before the massacre. 

In the video, widely shared on social media, Bing talks about driving a car with some of his colleagues. A woman apparently filming the video is heard saying, “We were driving in the back,” to which Bing said, “We were driving in the back. I was parking in and everything. As a matter of fact, umm, it’s more fun than driving the car.” The context of the discussion was not immediately clear. 

When Bing realises that his colleague is filming him on Facebook live, he apparently tries to duck out of view, at which point his colleague bursts out laughing and says out his name aloud.

OPOYI cannot independently verify the authenticity of the video.
