A Richmond Police spokesperson said a person was shot walking across a bridge in the 1000 block of Mosby Street near Martin Luther King Jr. Middle School.
CBS 6 News’ Sandra Jones reported that the shooting victim asked a bus driver for help.
As a result, the school was placed on lockdown, according to Richmond Public Schools’ Felicia Cosby.
Geez, we love to shoot each other in this town. Its not black, its not white, its what is right….why so many guns and the acceptance that it is OK for city dwellers to kill and maim each other
The Richmond Police Department is looking for two persons of interest in a shooting this afternoon on the Martin Luther King Bridge.
Around 2 p.m. a middle-aged male was shot by an unidentified male who was with a female. The victim has life-threatening injuries. No motive for the shooting is known at this time.
The first person of interest is a black male in his early twenties, about 5 feet 6 inches to 5 feet 7 inches tall, weighing between 150 and 165 pounds with a light complexion and facial hair. He was last seen wearing a black hoodie, a white T-shirt and a black baseball cap with a white/black emblem displayed on the front.
The second person of interest is a black female in her twenties, about 5 feet 3 inches to 5 feet 4inches tall, weighing between 150 and 160 pounds with a medium to dark complexion. She has long hair in box braids and was last seen wearing a purple hoodie, blue jeans and blue tennis shoes.
Anyone with information about this shooting or these persons of interest is asked to call Detective A. Sleem at 646-3871. Those who wish to remain anonymous may call Crime Stoppers at 780-1000 or text Crime Stoppers at 274637, using the key word “ITip” followed by your tip.
Instead of renovating this school in its present location, we need to build a new middle school in another safer location.
