RICHMOND, Va. — A teenage boy has died after an accidental shooting at an apartment complex on Richmond's Southside on Saturday morning, Crime Insider sources told Jon Burkett.
Richmond Police were called to the 4000 block of Midlothian Turnpike around 10:30 a.m. for a report of a person shot, according to online emergency communications logs. That address is the Belt Atlantic apartments, where a man was killed in a double shooting last week.
Sources told Burkett that the teenage victim accidentally discharged a gun.
Investigators with the department's Major Crimes Unit were on the scene and in the early stages of a death investigation.
