RICHMOND, Va. (AP) — Seven people were shot, two fatally, when gunfire
rang out Tuesday outside a downtown theater in Richmond, Virginia, where a
high school graduation ceremony had just ended, causing hundreds of
attendees to flee in panic, weep and clutch their children, authorities
and witnesses said.

A 19-year-old suspect tried to escape on foot but was arrested and will be charged with two counts of second-degree murder, Interim Richmond Police
Chief Rick Edwards said during a nighttime news conference at which he confirmed the two fatalities.

Five others were wounded by the gunfire outside the state capital’s city-
owned Altria Theater, which is across the street from a large, grassy park
and in the middle of the Virginia Commonwealth University campus. At least
12 others were injured or treated for anxiety due to the mayhem, according
to police.

“As they heard the gunfire, it was obviously chaos,” Edwards said. “We had hundreds of people in Monroe Park, so people scattered. It was very
chaotic at the scene.

Edwards said one of the people who was killed was an 18-year-old male
student who had just graduated, while the other was a 36-year-old man who
was there for the graduation. Their names were not released, but police
believe the suspect, who was not immediately identified, knew at least one
of the victims.

“This should have been a safe space. People should have felt safe at a graduation,” Edwards said.

“It’s just incredibly tragic that someone decided to bring a gun to this incident and rain terror on our community.”

Six people were brought to VCU Medical Center and their conditions ranged
from serious to critical late Tuesday, VCU Health System spokesperson Mary
Kate Brogan said.

Multiple handguns were recovered. Police initially said two suspects were detained, but Edwards said later that they determined one of them was not involved.

Richmond Mayor Levar Stoney vowed to ensure anyone responsible faces
justice.

“This should not be happening anywhere,” Stoney said.
