Response to a call
of a person shot on Tuesday, July 7, in Creighton Court required two Richmond
Police officers to deploy life-saving measures.
Officer C. McNeil
and Officer C. Arendall found an 18-year-old male with multiple gunshot wounds,
lying on the sidewalk in the 2200 block of Creighton Road shortly before 5 a.m.
The officers
assessed the situation and determined the shooting victim required immediate
medical attention. Prior to the arrival of emergency medical personnel, the
officers applied tourniquets to the victim’s legs to stop the excessive
bleeding. The victim was transported to VCU Medical Center, where he
remains in critical condition.
Although the
officers were able to save the victim, Richmond Police do not have a suspect
description at this time or any details related to the shooting. The
incident is being investigated by the Major Crimes Division.
