Officials provide update on mass shooting in Spotsylvania County
The Spotsylvania County Sheriff's Office provided an update after three people were killed and three others were injured in a shooting Tuesday afternoon.
In an evening press conference, Maj. Elizabeth Scott with the Spotsylvania County Sheriff's Office said the victims were found outside.
"I mean this is probably as bad as it can get with at least six people being shot right now. It's been a stressful 24 hours," Scott said.
Fredericksburg City Schools announced a delayed opening for Thursday, citing the "profound impact" the shooting has had on members of its school community.
What they're saying:
FOX 5 had a chance to speak with a witness who lives in this neighborhood. She says she was coming home from work when she heard the gunshots.
"I was coming down the hill. I was looking forward and I saw about three or four individuals and I heard it and I saw bullets going everywhere, they were kind of going at each other. Then I saw some runoff down the road and after a little bit they started walking back holding their big guns and they started walking up the hill, then they cut off behind the townhouses and that's when the first officer arrived on scene," neighbor Rosy P told FOX 5.
A viewer shared video with FOX 5 in the wake of the shooting. In it, you can see two people holding what appear to be long-guns, walking down the street. Moments after, that street turned into a crime scene.
Right now, the Sheriff’s Office is not connecting that to the shooting, but they did tell FOX 5 they are interviewing people.
