History edit
Nothing is known about Bing's past, although he was a resident of Chesapeake who previously lived in various other cities across the Hampton Roads metropolitan area including Suffolk, Norfolk, and Virginia Beach; and he also lived for a time in Queens, New York, and San Angelo, Texas. Bing started working with Walmart at the Chesapeake location in 2010. According to a company statement, Bing worked as an overnight shift lead.
Bing's motive is unknown, though an employee at the store alleged that he was planning on killing other Walmart managers. Walmart employees that had worked with Bing described him as difficult and known to be hostile to others.
In a ‘death note’ written on his phone by Bing, he claimed that he was mocked by coworkers and that his phone had been hacked. He repeatedly mentioned God and wanting forgiveness for his actions, claiming that he was "led by Satan". Also described in the note were non-traditional cancer treatments and distress over not having a wife.
