HENRICO COUNTY, Va. -- Police are investigating two different incidents that left a woman seriously injured and an officer with a minor injury at a Highland Springs apartment complex early Friday morning.

Henrico Police said officers were called to the 100 block of Quinby Court, which is at the Cedarwood Manor Apartments off East Nine Mile Road, around 3:40 a.m. for domestic call, where a person had been shot.

"There was a physical struggle between an adult male and female where a firearm discharged," police said.

Crime Insider sources told Jon Burkett that a woman was shot in two different spots by her boyfriend inside an apartment.

Those same sources said the woman then ran to her relative's apartment, in the 600 block of Shawn Court, on the other side of the same apartment complex.

Police said the suspect in the domestic shooting remained at the Quincy location and was taken into custody without incident. As of Friday evening, police said the man has not been charged.

At the second location on Shawn Court where the woman had fled to, Crime Insider sources told Burkett that when police showed up to that apartment, the relative who opened the door was holding a gun.

Police said two officers discharged their firearms and that one of those officers sustained a minor injury to the hand.

They were treated on the scene and officials said Friday afternoon that no officers were shot.

Police did not say why the officers fired, but officials said said they did not hit that person.

Officials later said the man at the Shawn Court location who was detained for questioning was released and has not been charged.

The victim of the domestic violence situation was taken to the hospital with serious, but non-life-threatening injuries.
