VSU Shooting: Five Injured, Lockdown Lifted
Five people were injured in a mass shooting near Virginia State University’s Quad Annexes on Boisseau Street and Third Avenue, and a campus lockdown was later lifted as police continued the investigation. Authorities said multiple suspects were involved and all victims were transported to local hospitals, with one in critical condition and others with non-life-threatening injuries. The Chesterfield County Police Department leads the investigation, with assistance from VSU Police, the ATF, and the Hanover County Sheriff’s Office. Officials urged the campus to avoid the area as law enforcement secured the campus. The incident occurred just before the fall semester, which was set to begin Aug. 17, and follows a prior shooting in the same area the week earlier. No arrests have been announced, and updates are expected as investigators gather evidence.
