At approximately 11:15 p.m. Friday night, RPD officers were approached by a victim at Allen Avenue and Broad Street who stated someone had fired shots into their vehicle near the Circle following an altercation.
Around the same time, officers received several calls for random gunfire near the Circle in the 1600 block of Monument Avenue. When officers arrived, one of the callers stated the glass door at their residence was shattered by reported gunfire.
“Gunfire and violent behavior is not peaceful, nonviolent protest; it is criminal, unacceptable, and will not be tolerated in our city,” said Chief Gerald M. Smith. “The City of Richmond will take all necessary steps to protect residents and visitors and preserve peace and public safety in our communities.”
Officers canvassed the area near the Circle recovering a rifle and magazines.
Detectives are currently investigating to determine if the incidents are related.
Anyone with information is asked to call Crime Stoppers at 804-780-1000.
