Two years ago, Virginia Beach experienced the mass shooting at its municipal center in the Courthouse area, both a collective tragedy and the source of an untold number of individual tragedies.
The Friday, May 31, 2019, event is a milestone in the lives of the city, its citizens and the people who comprise the city workforce — including the public safety personnel who responded to it and who have kept serving Virginia Beach through all that has happened since. This includes civil unrest and the novel coronavirus pandemic.
