RICHMOND, Va. — A man was critically injured after being shot in the chest in downtown Richmond late Saturday night, Crime Insider sources told Jon Burkett.

Richmond Police were called to the 100 block of West Grace Street for a report of a shooting just before 11:30 p.m.

The victim drove himself to VCU Medical Center rather than waiting for an ambulance, Crime Insider sources said.

Police said early Sunday that he remained hospitalized with life-threatening injuries.

Major Crimes detectives are investigating the shooting.

No information about potential suspects or motives has been released.
