Norfolk State University announced on Facebook that several of its students were victims of the shooting at an off-campus location.
NORFOLK, Va. — Two people were killed and five others were injured by gunfire after a fight broke out at a party in Norfolk, Virginia, police said Sunday.
When police responded to a house near Old Dominion University around midnight, they found four women and three men with gunshot wounds, authorities said. “The preliminary investigation reveals that there had been a party at that location that had been advertised on social media,” said Michael Goldsmith, the city’s interim police chief, at a news conference. “Apparently a fight broke out at the party, and once the fight started then somebody pulled out a gun and started shooting.
Several Norfolk State University students were victims of the shooting at an off-campus location, the university said on its Facebook page. “Initial indications are that our students were innocent bystanders of a shooting at an evening house party,” the university wrote in the post.“We are rushing the casings and any ballistics evidence that we have to our federal partners using the National Integrated Ballistics Information Network, and the ATF has promised us that they’re going to rush these through so that we can make any possible connections using that evidence,” Goldsmith said.“This is not randomly picked,” he said.
