HAMPTON, Va. – Police are asking for the public’s help to identify suspects in connection with a shooting that happened Monday night.

Officers were called to the 2000 block of Seldendale Drive around 10:21 p.m.

Upon arrival, officers located a 15-year-old Hampton boy inside of a home suffering from a gunshot wound.

He was taken to a local hospital to be treated for non-life threatening injuries.

While officers were investigating, Public Safety Communications was notified of a male gunshot victim at Sentara CarePlex. The investigation has revealed that this victim, a 34-year-old Hampton man, was also in the area of Seldendale Drive when he was shot.

Multiple unoccupied vehicles were also struck by gunfire.

There are no suspect descriptions to disseminate.
