APAuthorities are still investigating a motive behind the shooting '/ ' 
APEmployee Briana Tyler managed to escape Tuesday's bloodbath '/ ' ...ONE TO LOOK OUT FOR' Bing, whose shift began at 10pm, was in charge of overseeing employees as they unloaded pallets of groceries, stocked shelves and learned the store. Two former coworkers described Bing as ...weird... and at times showed a ...nasty attitude.... "Everyone called him weird. That was all anyone could say about Andrew," Shaundrayia Reese, 27, who worked on the store's overnight crew from 2015 to 2018, told The New York Times. Reese said that Bing could be temperamental and sometimes displayed a ...nasty attitude,... which led to complaints from his subordinates. Nathan Sinclair, 21, who worked as a manager on the shift before Bing's, said they occasionally clashed over workplace matters, including one particularly intense argument in October over unloading a truck. "He had an attitude," Sinclair, who left his job this month, just short of a year after starting there, told the Times. "He was kind of aggressive. There were moments where he was OK, but he was definitely hard to work with and a little hostile." Tyler described her manager to GMA as ...one to look out for,... adding to the claims that Bing had issues with other employees. ...There was always something going on with him just having an issue with someone, but I never expected it would get to this level,... she said. ...He was the manager that everybody had something to say about.... Reese and Sinclair also recalled how Bing covered up his phone's camera with tape, saying he feared that the government was watching him. Former maintenance worker Josh Johnson, 30, said that it seemed Bing did not have ...much of a life outside of the store.... ...He was the type of guy who said, 'I go to work and go home, I don't have a social life,'... Johnson told the Times. A source revealed to 5 On Your Side that first responders found a list near the shooter's body, which contained the ...names of employees he presumably wanted to target.... Authorities recovered a pistol at the scene, as well as multiple magazines. A motive behind the shooting has not been determined. Local police and FBI officials were seen stationed outside the suspected shooter's Chesapeake home, which according to property records obtained by the Virginia-Pilot, was purchased by Bing in 2019. According to 10 On Your Side, FBI agents were seen exiting Bing's home with bags of evidence. Chesapeake mayor Rick West called the shooting senseless, ...I am devastated by the senseless act of violence that took place late last night in our City. ...My prayers are with all those affected \- the victims, their family, their friends, and their coworkers. ...I am grateful for the quick actions taken by our first responders who rushed to the scene.

He said: ...She said ...head straight down', so that's what I did, I followed everybody down. ...You know what it's like in airports, you're retired by the time you get through.... Matt says he showed an EasyJet air hostess his boarding pass for his Tui flight but no one picked up he was on the wrong plane. Instead, Matt says that Matt was asked to move seats so a family could sit on the one he was allocated. He explained: ...I said '21A', she said ...are you here on your own?' I said ...yes', she said ...do you mind swapping because there's a family who want to sit together', I said ...no problem, she said '19c then'.... But when he walked to 19C, someone else was already in that seat too, so he was given another seat in the isle. Matt said: ...I walked down, got to my reallocated seat, 19C instead of 21A and it was full, I said ...I've just been asked to sit in 19C because somebody else is in my seat', so they said ...don't worry about that, just sit there.... ...BLIMEY' When he eventually realised he would be landing about 118 miles from where he really wanted to go, he made his way to the front of the plane. He said: ...I had to wait about five minutes, because they had already taken the gate off, and they had to reattach the gate and open the door. ...I was panicking and saying to the airhostess ...my flight to Birmingham hasn't gone, has it?' I'm sure she said ...this is EasyJet, we're off to Gatwick.... They reattached the bridge and Matt was directed to the corridor he was supposed to turn down for his flight. He said: ...It was funny but I was thinking ...blimey', I couldn't believe I'd actually got on the plane. ...I was just glad that my plane hadn't taken off. I was so relieved.... An EasyJet spokesperson told The Sun Online the matter was swiftly dealt with and apologised for the inconvenience. He said: "We are investigating with Dalaman airport and with our partner airline which was operating this flight on behalf of EasyJet. ...As soon as the mistake was realised, prior to departure, the passenger was transferred to their correct flight which was being boarded at the same time through the same gate and we are sorry for any inconvenience caused.
