The Richmond Police Department is
investigating a shooting incident in Whitcomb Court in which a two year old
female was wounded.
At approximately 2:11 a.m.,
Wednesday, August 5th, RPD officers were called to the 2300 block of
Ambrose Street for a report of a person shot. When they arrived they located
the child inside an apartment with a gunshot wound to her arm.
While it is still early in the
investigation, Major Crimes Division detectives have determined the child was
outside the building with a family member when the shooting occurred and she
was carried inside as police were called. They do not believe she was the
intended target.
They are looking for a four-door,
dark colored Nissan sedan, possibly a Maxima, that was seen leaving the area after
the shooting.
Detectives are asking anyone who
may have information to share anonymously to call Crime Stoppers at 804
780-1000 or by using the P3 smartphone app.
