VIRGINIA BEACH, Va. - All buildings in the Municipal Center officially reopened Tuesday morning - all except Building 2, where 12 lives were cut short after being gunned down Friday afternoon while at work.
Some city employees arrived with tears in their eyes while walking into work for the first time since Friday. They said, understandably, Tuesday has been an emotional day.
