VIRGINIA BEACH, Va. — Two people were fatally shot and several others were injured in two separate shooting incidents late Friday night in Virginia Beach, Virginia.
Several of the injured victims had “possibly life-threatening injuries” police confirmed.
Virginia Beach police Chief Paul Neudigate said the preliminary count for the number of people shot is 10: One was killed by police “in a police intervention shooting,” while another person died from gunfire away from the scene. Eight people were shot at the first scene, the chief said.
“It was a very chaotic incident,” Neudigate said at a news conference early Saturday. “A very chaotic night in the beach. Many different crime scenes.”
Neudigate said the initial crime scene was at 20th Street and Atlantic Avenue in the oceanfront section of the city at 11:24 p.m. EDT, WAVY reported.
Neudigate said the initial crime scene was at 20th Street and Atlantic Avenue in the oceanfront section of the city at 11:24 p.m. EDT, WAVY reported.
As officers were actively working that scene, Neudigate told reporters, there were additional shots in the area of 20th Street and Pacific Avenue. That resulted in an “individual being confronted by a uniformed Virginia Beach police officer.” That person was fatally shot by the officer, Neudigate said.
A second person who was not part of the officer-involved shooting also died at the scene, Neudigate said.
Neudigate also said an officer was also struck by a car and taken to a hospital during the department’s response. Their injuries are not considered life-threatening.
Neudigate did not elaborate on the conditions of the victims who were taken to an area hospital.
Earlier, Bruce Nedelka, of the Virginia Beach Department of Emergency Medical Services, told WVEC that several people had been hurt in the shooting. Virginia Beach police confirmed to WAVY early Saturday that “multiple people” possibly have life-threatening injuries and were taken to an area hospital. Police did not say how many people were injured, the television station reported.
