Splice or Remove list of elements from JSON Array

I am having a JSON Array Output from REST API like this , I am displaying this items on the HTML using ng-repeat.

var searchresponse = [{
    "items": [{
        "employeeId": "ABC",
        "type": "D",
        "alive": "Yes"

    }, {
        "employeeId": "DEF",
        "type": "D",
        "alive": "Yes"

    }, {
        "employeeId": "NPK",
        "type": "D",
        "alive": "Yes"

    }, {
        "employeeId": "PKN",
        "type": "A",
        "alive": "Yes"
    }],
    "more": false
}];

when user tries to delete using selectall/single select i am calling a REST API to remove the employee id from the db . once i get a successful response i am planning to splice / remove the values that have been selected by the user from the VIEW. I would like to remove the following employeeid and their type,alive removed from the searchresponse 

 var data1=["ABC","NPK"];

Whatever the data1 has corresponding details should be removed from the searchresponse

All you need is to eliminate each item from items array whose employeeId is in data1,using splice method.

References 

var searchresponse = [{
    "items": [{
        "employeeId": "ABC",
        "type": "D",
        "alive": "Yes"

    }, {
        "employeeId": "DEF",
        "type": "D",
        "alive": "Yes"

    }, {
        "employeeId": "NPK",
        "type": "D",
        "alive": "Yes"

    }, {
        "employeeId": "PKN",
        "type": "A",
        "alive": "Yes"
    }],
    "more": false
}];
var data1=["ABC","DEF"];
var items=searchresponse[0].items;
var i=items.length;
while (i--) {
    if(data1.indexOf(items[i].employeeId)!=-1){
        items.splice(i,1);
    }
}
console.log(searchresponse[0].items);
