Two killed in Mosby drive-by shooting
09/09/2015 3:00 PM by John M
Two men were killed by gunfire in a drive-by shooting Wednesday morning in Richmond’s Mosby Court public housing complex, prompting an hourlong lockdown at several schools in the city’s East End.
Police said a “dark-colored vehicle” drove past a group of people in the 2100 block of Accommodation Drive and shots were fired at the crowd.
These are the 9th and 10th killings in the East End this year, the 5th in that immediate area of Mosby, and the 2nd double homicide in less than a month.
This is so sad to hear, but at the same time, I am relieved that school was already in session and kids were away at school.
I hereby nominate Robbie Summey for the “Detective of the Year” award
