HENRICO COUNTY, Va. -- Police are investigating a bizarre shooting in Henrico's East End early Saturday morning after a woman came out of her house to check on her children and their friends, Crime Insider sources told Jon Burkett.
Henrico Police were called to a report of a shooting in the 1100 block of Berryhill Road, which is off Osborne Turnpike and not far from the Pocahontas Parkway, at 12:20 a.m.
Loud music was coming from what was believed to be an abandoned car at the end of the driveway, according to Crime Insider sources.
As a result, the woman walked up to the car's tinted windows and cupped her hands so she could see inside the vehicle, sources said.
That is when a shot was fired and glass shattered, Burkett’s sources said.
"Police located an adult female victim suffering from an injury and she is currently receiving treatment at an area hospital," officials said.
That woman suffered a possible graze wound and had glass fragments in her eye, according to sources.
A teenage boy known to her children fled the scene with a Glock and extended mag, those sources said.
Officials said in a 1:30 a.m. news release that the scene remained under investigation.
Anyone with information about the crime is asked to contact Henrico Police at 804-501-5000. Information may also be submitted anonymously through Crime Stoppers at 804-780-1000 or the P3 Tips app.
