RICHMOND, Va. — Police have identified the man accused of attacking his adult son and son's mother in a domestic shooting on Friday night in Chesterfield County.
Michael D. White, 44, is charged with domestic assault, aggravated malicious wounding, use of a firearm in the commission of a felony and shooting into an occupied dwelling.
Officers were called to Dalebrook Drive around 10 p.m. Friday for a report that someone was shot. When police arrived, they found a man suffering from a gunshot wound.
He was taken to an area hospital in critical condition, but is expected to survive.
The man's mother, who spoke to CBS 6 on the condition of anonymity over the weekend, suffered a bullet graze to her hand while trying to block the gunfire. She said her son's father unexpectedly showed up at her home armed with a gun and began attacking them.
