CHESAPEAKE, Va. — A 14-year-old boy has died from his injuries after a mass shooting on Drayton Road in Chesapeake Saturday night, police confirmed Sunday afternoon.
CPD officers also clarified Sunday afternoon that five people, three boys and two men, were injured Saturday night in the shooting on Drayton Road. CPD officers originally told News 3 Saturday night that there were four juvenile males and one man who were injured in the shooting.
Officers got a call just after 5 p.m. Saturday about gunshots fired at this location.
Three boys and two men were shot and taken to local hospitals, Chesapeake Police officers told News 3.
Sunday afternoon, CPD said the other four victims are recovering from non-life threatening injuries. Their ages are unknown, as of Sunday afternoon.
Families who live on Drayton Road spoke with News 3's Kelsey Jones, and expressed their disappointment that gun violence erupted in the community they call home.
One teenager said he heard about 5 to 6 gunshots.
"It's crazy," said a friend of one of the victims.
The friend of the victim said processing what happened Saturday is not easy for him.
"We've been playing basketball right here for 4 years now. It's crazy for me to hear that there was a shooting," the friend added.
It's unclear what led up to this shooting.
But what is clear is the hurt from long time residents to see a crime scene just feet away from their home.
"I watched these kids grow up. This block here was the quietest block in this neighborhood so far, up until now," said one long time resident.
Also, Chesapeake Police officers said there's currently no suspect information at this time.
