Virginia mass shooting kills 3 people and wounds 3 others; suspects in custody

All suspects were in custody early Wednesday after a shooting that killed three people and wounded three others in Virginia, authorities said.

On Tuesday evening, 911 calls came in about a shooting at a town house complex in Spotsylvania County, just outside Fredericksburg and about 65 miles southwest of Washington, said Maj. Elizabeth Scott, spokesperson for the sheriff's office.

Officials had urged people to avoid the area and those near the scene to stay indoors while authorities investigated, she said. At the time, authorities warned that at least one shooter was on the loose. Area schools delayed openings by two hours Wednesday morning.
