The Richmond Police Department is investigating two fatal shooting incidents that occurred early this morning in Gilpin Court resulting in the deaths of four people.

1. At approximately 4:26 a.m., RPD officers were called to the 1200 block of St. Paul’s Street for a report of random gunfire. When they arrived, they were directed to an apartment where they discovered the bodies of three adults. They had all apparently been shot.

The identities of the victims will be released once they have been positively identified and their next of kin have been notified.
