Police held a news conference Saturday afternoon where they showed a screengrab of an invitation for the gradation party for a Thomas Dale High School student that was posted on Instagram.
Major Brad Badgerow estimated that between 50 and 100 people showed up for the party, many of whom police believe were underage.
Badgerow identified the shooting victims as a 16-year-old from Chesterfield; an 18-year-old from Chesterfield; an 18-year-old from Hopewell; a 19-year-old from Dinwiddie and a 21-year-old from Prince. A 16-year-old from Richmond and a 17-year-old from Hopewell were hurt when they were hit by a car.
"We know that there are people out there who know what happened," Badgerow said. "Our victims range from 16 to 20 years old. So parents, if you know that your kids were out last night and you're not quite sure where they were, or you're a little suspicious about what might be going on, we'd like to ask you for your help."
Police urged parents to talk to their children and pass any information along to officers.
"As you can imagine any thing involving a party like this, we know that there's going to be cell phone video, we know that there's going to be lots of people recording things," Badgerow said. "So we'd like to ask for people if you have that, or you know what happened to send that in as well."
Badgerow also asked homeowners along Stepney and Weybridge to check their security cameras to see if they captured anything that may be connected to the violence.
