Its always good to see the media holding up their end of reporting "news"...
CNN's version of le truth:
Quote:
"I'm sure I'm going to hear all kinds of things about DeWayne, but I liked him," Scott told CNN.
Craddock turned in a letter of resignation via email Friday morning, the day of the shooting, Virginia Beach City Manager Dave Hansen said.
He was not forced to resign, Hansen added. He was in "good standing" and had no ongoing discipline issues, he said.
When his supervisor asked why he was resigning, Craddock told him he was quitting for "personal reasons," another colleague told CNN.
Scott said he worked with Craddock for several years. He doesn't want Craddock "painted as an evil person -- something happened, but it wasn't his nature," adding that he lost many friends Friday.

And the New York Post:
Quote:
The gunman who shot 12 people dead at a Virginia Beach municipal building had been facing disciplinary action for a violent fight at work, according to a report.
DeWayne Craddock, 40, was still employed as an engineer with the Department of Public Utilities when he went on his shooting rampage Friday, killing 12 and injuring several others, including a cop.
But he recently started showing serious behavioral problems and got into physical “scuffles” with other city workers, a source told the New York Times.
The source told the paper that the troubles had escalated in the week leading up to the mass shooting — and Craddock was involved in what it called “a violent altercation on city grounds.”
Craddock reportedly knew he was facing disciplinary action for the fight when he went into the municipal building with two .45-caliber handguns, at least one of which was equipped with a sound suppressor — and both of which were purchased legally.
Craddock killed 12 people, all but one co-workers, and injured several others before he died in a police shootout.

Yet none of the other big media houses mention anything about possible issues at work before crabcock spontaneously killed a bunch of co-workers except for a very brief sentence in a New York Times Post:
Quote:
|
As the authorities on Sunday shared a more detailed accounting of the siege, they also acknowledged for the first time that the gunman’s employment had been nearing its end. But they said he had not been forced to resign.

Strange coincidence the timing of this one...
