CHESTERFIELD COUNTY, Va. — Two blood drives are being held in the wake of a Sunday shooting that injured two Chesterfield County Police Department officers and killed a CCPD K-9.
The blood drives were made possible by Chippenham & Johnston-Willis Hospitals' partnership with the American Red Cross, Chesterfield County Fire and EMS, and other agencies. They both will be held in Johnston-Willis Hospital's Stalker Auditorium at 1401 Johnston Willis Drive.
- Wednesday, June 3: 11 a.m. to 5 p.m.
- Thursday, June 4: 1 p.m. to 5 p.m.
"It's tough to think about what our brothers went through, and it's really hard, knowing that they're part of our family, regardless of what entity they work for," said Chesterfield Fire Battalion Chief Kevin Moran. "They're public safety, and it's hard to imagine what they went through, and what they're going to go through."
"Being a trauma center at Chippenham Hospital, we have a really tight connection with our first responders, with police, fire and EMS," said Johnston-Willis Hospital CEO Beth Matish. "And so in the wake of such an event there is always a natural community reaction to say, 'How can I help?' Frankly, this is a way you can help."
