Crozet
Albemarle County, Virginia
Two People are dead and another is injured after a shooting on the parking lot of Harris Teeter in Crozet around 1 PM Monday afternoon.
In the above Facebook live from Monday I talked about the official release from Albemarle County Police.
“Upon arrival, first responders located three adults suffering from gunshot wounds in the parking lot. Two of the gunshot victims were pronounced deceased at the scene. The third victim was transported to UVA Medical Center in critical condition. The identities of the deceased are being withheld pending notification of next of kin.
At this point in the investigation, officers believe that the suspect began shooting in the parking lot, striking two others. A good samaritan who was exiting Harris Teeter engaged the suspected shooter with their personal weapon. The suspected shooter was pronounced deceased at the scene. The good samaritan was uninjured in the shooting,” according to a release from the Albemarle County Police Department late Monday afternoon.
Police went on to say that two weapons were recovered from the scene, and they are still investigating the relation between the gunshot victims. Virginia State Police has also been called in to assist in the investigation.
