an employee says that workers had gathered in the stores per acre master ships were about to start. that employee looked up and saw her manager turn around and then started shooting calls came in around 10:12pm, eastern time. we're taking a look at video from the scene as chesapeake police rushed to that walmart. they got there 2 minutes after that phone call was made. police say that 7 people died, including the gunman who killed himself using a pistol for other people are in the hospital right now. and our sister station in virginia is reporting that 2 people are in critical condition. one is expected to be ok and they're still waiting information on the 4th victim. here's what virginia's governor had to say. >> this is a horrendous event. it's a horrendous, senseless act of violence. and today we have to come around families and support them. there will be time for us to to react and better understand. but today

is a moment where we need to support these families that facing the unimaginable. >> absolutely horrifying. it's been 3 days since the shooting at club q and america is already being forced to process another mass murder. it should not be like this said police have searched the gunman's home and they're investigating the motive for the shooting at this time. how walmart is police, the fbi, they are there. and for the next few days they will be processing the scene. i'll send it back to you. >> alright, camila, thank you very much. 903, is the time. another big story we're following this morning. it's one of the busiest travel days of the year with millions of americans expecting to head to the airports and to the roads over the next few days. 5 days. as a matter of fact. so this morning we've got team coverage of the holiday travel yet. sarah stinson there on

the far right covering gas prices and how much it'll cost to fill up. and then, of course, we have will tran standing by out of oakland international airport with the air flights delays. how people are getting around will start with will. good morning. >> good morning, james. turkey's do fly. but millions of americans do. and it is a steady stream of people coming and going from oakland. you can see this is pick up and drop off. it's been pretty steady throughout the morning and then expected to be pretty steady throughout the day. in fact, about 10% more people will be going through oakland this year. then last year, just stepped inside. doesn't look too bad. but this was the scene at around 5 o'clock in the morning when it started to pick up. we are expecting altogether about 55 million americans will be traveling 50 or more miles from their home this year. and that is up from last year. a few reasons

travel restrictions have been loosened. a lot of people now able to leave a little bit earlier and stay later for the holiday because they can work remotely. and of course, many reasons why they're taking off. there are some people why they're not going to be in the bay area. but at other places. >> we going to pay because, you know, in a vegas and thanksgiving. >> first, thanksgiving in vegas or us. yes, post even in vegas. yeah. so we are like excited. >> then things go well. my daughter, my new grandson. >> with truck for the job on the clock. >> so we seeing in ontario, we're going to see your daughter. she goes to ucsb. you guys look so young, stop it. >> travel experts. they were worried that maybe the numbers with be stagnant or even down this year because of inflation. a lot of people, of course, are spending more of their money on other things. and then the flights, of

course, they're not cheap. it looks like people are saying forget about it. it is worth traveling and that's why we're seeing the numbers up and up. >> today is a very busy day. the next should be on sunday when travelers come back. >> all right. and will i know i asked you last hour, how delays and cancellations were going didn't seem that bad. then have you had a chance to to take a look now? >> oakland is not doing too bad at all. i mean, they don't have to deal with some of the other problems like sfo as far as open as concern. and i want to draw your attention to the screen. these are the numbers at 09:00am. but of course, things change as we go on. so by all means call ahead. but as of about 09:00am this morning, we're talking about 10 flight cancellations at sfo. 2 in oakland and 5 in san jose. a very fluid situation. of course, it's pretty here in the bay area. keep in mind, though, other places in the

country probably dealing with weather. so as always, if a flight say doesn't take off in chicago in time, then it lands late in oakland or if it doesn't take off at all in chicago, it doesn't land here. so we've got problems. got to stay on top of it. but the bottom line is happy thanksgiving. everybody. happy thanksgiving. james and john. >> back to you as well. well, thank you very much. as i said, as part of our team coverage, we're also following the situation with the roads to and so let's switch over and chat with kron 4 sarah stinson who is talking to drivers this morning as you're filling up at the pump. good morning, sara. >> hey, good morning, james. that's right. we're talking with drivers out here. a lot of them going to work and then some of them going to their thanksgiving destination. many saying that with the inflation hitting them hard this year, the gas is adding up along with the turkey and it's all becoming unaffordable at this 76 station in menlo park. it's

costing drivers for regular gas $5. and $0.39. and for premium gas, $5 and $0.69 just have to shop around for that $4 range. if you want to get a deal. but we know from aaa, according to them, we're going to see about 49 million americans on the road this year, traveling for the thanksgiving holiday. that is actually up from last year by only 0.4%. and then it is actually down from 2019 levels. 2.5%. let's take a look at what you can face at the pump in the bay area. gases, most expensive in napa on average costing $5. and $0.45 on the list. it goes from expensive to the top and goes down to the cheapest in vallejo and fairfield costing $5 and $0.3. and so we caught up with drivers this morning to talk to them about average price is where they going. i i've met with the man and he is going up to the north bay. he's so excited. but there's

one hang-up. the cost of gas. >> i mean, thanksgiving is my personal favorite holiday cause light. it's just so cozy and everything. but yeah, so it that's his plan for me. >> one of the gas co getting there, it's expensive do look at this 6 gallons, 6 gallons, almost $31. yeah, i can't. i can't do it. to be honest. this car takes up a lot of guys and i don't know. i just can't say but many money because it's like all of that goes to get straight up. >> it's true. and for those of you hitting the road on this thanksgiving holiday, we want to cover all your bases. so take a look at your going up to tahoe gas in placer county will cost you $5.15 on average. you la county going up to $5.21 on average. it looks like no matter where you're at in california on average in the $5 range. but as i said, drive around shop around. you can >> see and witness that $4 range i did earlier and
