NORFOLK, Va — Two people died and one person was injured following a shooting on Bagnall Road Thursday, according to Norfolk police.
Officers say the call came in around 4:45 p.m. According to Police Chief Mark Talbot, officers were only a block away investigating a shooting that happened the day prior when shots rang out.
"Officers were a block away," said Talbot. "They heard somewhere around 10 shots."
Officers say they found three people who had been shot: two located in the 700 block of Chapel Street and one in the 800 block of Bagnall Road.
One of the men officers found on Chapel Street died at the scene, police say. Police identified him as Javid Williams, a 19-year-old from Norfolk.
The other man police found on Chapel Street was taken to the hospital. He died the following Tuesday, police say. He's since been identified as Maurice Stowe, a 29-year-old from Norfolk, police added.
The third man, who officers found on Bagnall Street, left the hospital after being treated for his injuries, police say.
Watch: ‘Innocent bystander’ shot during argument on Olney Road
The triple shooting happened just one day after a woman was shot in the same neighborhood, police say. That shooting stemmed from an argument between two men, police say.
Police say the victim was an "innocent bystander."
"[The shooting on East Olney Road] has everything to do with why officers were in the area, unfortunately," said Norfolk Police Chief Mark Talbot.
"This is one of the neighborhoods where we are struggling to make it safer," Talbot added. "This is another tragic incident that we're hoping to continue to reduce."
Talbot said officers will be in the area for an extended period time, both proactively patrolling and investigating.
