A person suffered serious but non-life-threatening injuries in a shooting late Friday on Old Greenbrier Road in Chesapeake. Police were called to the 2300 block around 10:55 p.m. after a report of someone with gunshot wounds.
The victim was taken to a local hospital after officers provided medical aid, according to WAVY, which reported that the injuries were serious but not expected to be life-threatening.
What police have said
Police told the station that a suspect had been taken into custody. The circumstances that led to the shooting have not been made public.
Authorities said there is no threat to the public, WAVY reported.
Investigation status
As of Saturday morning, the investigation remained active, and officials had released no further details about what led to the shooting.
Statewide crime figures and local limits
For broader context, WAVY, citing a Virginia State Police report, said violent crime across Virginia fell 5.9% in 2025 compared with 2024. The reported category includes murders, manslaughter, aggravated assault, rape and robbery. That statewide figure does not isolate firearm-related assaults or show a multi-year trend for Chesapeake; the reporting cited here does not provide local counts for those offenses.
