Police: 2 shot in Hopewell neighborhood after calls about ‘multiple shots fired’

HOPEWELL, Va. — Two men in their 60s remain hospitalized after a shooting in a Hopewell neighborhood early Sunday morning, according to police.

Officers were called to the 1200 block of High Avenue at 12:05 a.m. for calls about “multiple shots fired,” Lt. Cheyenne Casale with Hopewell Police said. That is the city’s Arlington neighborhood.

“While responding to the scene, police were notified that a male subject walked into the ER with life-threatening gunshot wounds,” Casale said. “Immediately following that call, police were also dispatched to the 200 block of E. Broadway about a male subject lying in a hallway.”

That man was also taken to an area hospital with what officials described as a non-life-threatening gunshot wound.

“The two men involved were victims of the High Avenue shooting,” Casale said.

Both victims, a 63-year-old man and a 67-year-old man both from Hopewell, remain hospitalized Sunday morning, Casale said.

Police said they found numerous shell casings in the road along High Avenue.
