HOPEWELL, Va. — One teenager was killed and another was injured in a shooting at a Hopewell apartment complex early Sunday morning, Crime Insider sources told Jon Burkett.
Officers were called to the 1000 block of Langston Park Drive, off Winston Churchill, just before 1:15 a.m., according to Hopewell Police. That address is the Summit Apartments.
When police arrived, they found a 17-year-old boy suffering from multiple gunshot wounds. He succumbed to his injuries at the scene, officials said.
"Officers quickly located the suspect vehicle fleeing the area at high speed. After a brief pursuit, two suspects were apprehended," Lt. Israel Perez with Hopewell Police said. "One juvenile suspect sustained a gunshot wound during the initial incident and was transported to a local hospital with non-life-threatening injuries."
Both suspects were charged with several misdemeanors, including juvenile in possession of a firearm, reckless handling of a firearm, discharging a firearm within the city and eluding police, officials said.
