WAVY TV journalist Brett Hall said on Wednesday that a source within the Chesapeake public safety department said first responders found a list near the shooter's body of "employees he presumably wanted to target."
Hall added that the source was not allowed to speak publicly on the matter, and The U.S. Sun has not been able to independently corroborate the information.
Walmart told The U.S. Sun: "We are focused on doing everything we can to support our associates and their families at this time. The alleged shooter has been identified as Andre Bing. We can confirm that he was a Walmart associate.
"Andre’s position with the company was overnight team lead and he’s been employed with us since 2010. We are thankful for the local first responders and will continue to work with local law enforcement as they continue their investigation."

Lorenzo Gamble, Brian Pendleton, Kellie Pyle, Randall Blevins, and Tyneka were named as victims.
A 16-year-old victim's name and photo are being withheld for now since he is a minor.
The city also confirmed the shooter's name and said that he was armed with one handgun and had multiple magazines.
Walmart employee Briana Tyler told Good Morning America that there were 15 to 20 employees gathered in the break room waiting to learn their duties for the day when Bing swung the door open and started shooting.
"As soon as my team lead said, 'All right, we have a light night tonight,' I looked up and my manager just opened the door and he just opened fire.
"He wasn't aiming at anybody specifically. He just literally started shooting throughout the entire break room and I watched multiple people just drop down to the floor, whether they were trying to duck for cover or they were hit.
"He didn't say a word, he didn't say anything at all. He just came around the corner and started shooting," Tyler told GMA.
'ONE TO LOOK OUT FOR'
Tyler described Bing to GMA as "one to look out for," claiming he always had issues with other employees.
