CHESTERFIELD COUNTY, Va. -- A neighbor reported hearing an argument at the Chesterfield apartment where police say a woman was killed and a man was injured in a shooting Sunday morning.
Chesterfield Police were dispatched for a call about a shooting in the 700 block of Boulder Springs Drive at the Birchwood At Boulders Apartments around 9:30 a.m.
When officers arrived, they found the body of a woman who was pronounced dead at the scene.
A man was taken to an area hospital with injuries police described as non-life threatening.
"The initial investigation indicates the shooting was between the two individuals found on scene and no other individuals are involved," officers said.
Police said both people had been shot.
Officials said the woman's name is being withheld pending next of kin notification.
No details about the circumstances surrounding the shooting were released.
Neighbor heard 'intense argument' before shooting
A neighbor who spoke to WTVR CBS 6 reporter A.J. Nwoko on the condition of anonymity said they woke up to the sounds of an "intense argument" coming from the apartment where the shooting happened.
That neighbor recounted hearing what they assumed were loud door slams before things went quiet.
It was only after neighbors said they saw police sprinting, attempting to locate their neighbor's apartment that they realized something was wrong.
Before long they said the man who lived in the unit was seen shirtless sitting in the parking lot, handcuffed with blood on his neck and upper chest.
Neighbors also said they believe a young child was in the home at the time when the shooting happened.
When police were asked about a child, all they would say is that the child was safe.
