At least 11 people were killed and six others were injured after a city employee opened fire at a large government complex in Virginia Friday afternoon, officials said.

Police responded to an active shooter situation at the Virginia Beach Municipal Center shortly after 4 p.m. when a longtime public utilities employee entered Building 2 and "began to indiscriminately fire upon all the victims," Virginia Beach Chief James Cervera said.

Officers exchanged gunfire with the shooter, who was not immediately identified. Cervera said one police officer was injured by gunfire. The shooter was killed.

Authorities added that they believe there was only one shooter.

The building where the shooting took place houses various city departments, including public works, public utilities, planning, and communications and information technology, according to the city's website. The municipal center consists of 30 government buildings.

Mass shootings are a monthly basis in America, right? And those in the government just send their thoughts and prayers and move on without legitimate action? Sounds like a new normal to me.

The fact that this is a norm disgusts me.

Why is this such a normal in the US? Is it because people are more mentally unstable there? Is it because guns are more readily available? Is it because buildings have less security?
