Residents of Richmond's 1400 block of Pennsylvania Avenue were rocked by the sound of gunfire, which led the Richmond Police Department to cordon off the area as they launched an investigation into a shooting incident. According to a social media post from the Richmond Police Department, a victim suffering moderate injuries was airlifted to a local hospital and is expected to make a recovery.
While the investigation is active, law enforcement officials have restricted access to the scene, shutting down the 1400 block to both pedestrians and vehicular traffic. They have issued a call for community members to steer clear of the area, expressing thanks for the patience and cooperation.
The Richmond Police Department appeals to anyone with information to come forward and contact the Richmond Police Department Communications Center directly at 510-233-1214.
