CHESTERFIELD COUNTY, Va. — A shooting in a Chesterfield neighborhood left multiple vehicles damaged early Thursday morning, with one SUV riddled with bullet holes.
Chesterfield Police responded to Burnt Oak Terrace around 3 a.m. where they found an unoccupied crimson SUV that had been peppered with gunshots through the windows, doors and windshield. The vehicle was also vandalized with a key, according to police.
Several other vehicles in the parking lot were caught in the crossfire.
"My car could've got hit by a stray bullet. We could've got hit because we're right here. It could've got crazier than it was," Amelia Jones, who lives in the area, said.
Jones only learned about the shooting the next morning from a neighbor. While she didn't hear the gunshots, seeing the damage up close left her shaken.
"Seeing it makes me a little more scared," Jones said.
"It looks like it came straight through," she added while examining the damage.
Hours after the shooting, a Chesterfield Police car was seen canvassing the area. Police said it appears to be an isolated incident with no related danger to the community.
For Jones, who has a young child, the incident has changed how she feels about her typically quiet neighborhood.
"I walk past here all the time. Me and my son walk to the mailbox all the time," Jones said. "I won't let him out by himself anymore."
Anyone with information is asked to call Chesterfield Police at 804-748-1251 or Crime Solvers at 804-748-0660.
