VIRGINIA BEACH — The Virginia Beach city employee who killed 12 people Friday afternoon at a municipal office building had submitted his resignation hours earlier, the local authorities said on Sunday. Although the police said that investigators were still examining possible motives for the mass shooting, David L. Hansen, the city manager, said that the suspect, DeWayne Craddock, had sent an email on Friday that declared his intention to quit. “He notified his chain of command that morning,” said Mr. Hansen, adding that Mr. Craddock’s resignation had not been forced and that investigators were still trying to recover a copy of the email.
