A day after a mass killing that took the lives of 11 Virginia Beach public servants and one contractor, the city honored each by releasing the years of service he or she provided before perishing at the hands of a disgruntled employee on May 31.
The 12 victims served the local community for a combined 150 years. One victim worked for the city for 41 years. Four worked as engineers, and three were right-of-way agents. The others included a technician, a special project coordinator, an account clerk, and an administrative assistant. All but one, a contractor, were city employees.
