USA TODAY
Richmond Police Chief Rick Edwards told reporters there are multiple suspected shooters as the investigation is ongoing.
Virginia police are searching for multiple suspects after a mass shooting early Feb. 21 that left nine people shot, including two fatally.
Just after 2:45 a.m., Richmond police responded to a shooting in progress in the Shockoe Bottom neighborhood, just east of the city’s downtown, according to dispatch logs. Police Chief Rick Edwards told reporters an officer nearby saw a large fight in the street and cars speeding. He added firearms appeared to escalate the brawl, which began as a verbal argument before worsening.
"My message would be leave your guns at home," Edwards said in a news conference, adding the shooting showed "it ends in tragedies like what we saw this morning."
Police found Genesis Jones, 23, of Petersburg, and Dominic Jackson, 42, of Henrico County, with multiple gunshot wounds who were pronounced dead on scene, Edwards said.
Four other people with non-life threatening gunshot wounds were transported by ambulance to local hospitals. Three additional people also went to local hospitals in private vehicles, Edwards said. The seven people wounded include three men and four women.
