Fatal Shooting near McDonald’s in Stratford Hills
A total of five individuals were shot, one fatally. The incident took place around 6:30 PM on Monday.
The police haven’t sent out their official statement so we’re relying on NBC12’s report.
Richmond police said one person is dead and four others were injured after a shooting near a Richmond McDonald’s on Monday.
Officers were called for the report of a fight in progress and a man armed with a gun around 6:30 p.m. in the 6800 block of Forest Hill Avenue.
When police arrived on the scene, officers initially located four victims, and a short time later a fifth victim was found.
Police said all of the victims were men and one was pronounced dead at the scene. The other four were taken to the hospital. Police said three are in critical condition and the fourth is stable.
“Rest assured that we’re gonna have hourly patrol cars in the neighborhood. This is a area where we normally don’t have this type of incident. Most of the crime in this area is theft from vehicles. We haven’t had any commercial robberies or anything like that, so this is a anomaly for us in this area,” Third Precinct Commander Marty Harrison said.
Richmond Police Chief Gerald Smith and Virginia State Police were also on the scene.
