Six people are dead and four injured in a mass shooting at a Walmart in Chesapeake in Virginia.

The gunman, who killed himself, making the death toll seven, was the store's overnight shift manager.

TVNZ correspondent Anna Burns-Francis told Kate Hawkesby it follows the shooting at a gay nightclub in Colorado.

She says the two incidents are just two of the 606 US mass shootings this year, and President Biden is once again calling for action on gun control.
