12 people killed in Virginia Beach shooting; suspect dead

Virginia Gov. Ralph Northam said in a statement he was devastated by the "unspeakable, senseless violence," and is offering the state's full support to survivors and relatives of the victims.

"That they should be taken in this manner is the worst kind of tragedy," the governor said during a Friday night news conference.

The White House said President Donald Trump had been briefed and was monitoring the situation.
