CHESTERFIELD COUNTY, Va. — New details were released Monday afternoon about a shooting that injured multiple people at the Shamrock Pub at Robious Road and Midlothian Turnpike in Chesterfield County. Police were called to the strip mall where the restaurant is located at about 11:30 p.m. Sunday.
"Once on scene, officers found multiple victims with gunshot wounds," a Chesterfield police spokesperson said in the initial Monday morning update.
Police said they identified five shooting victims.
"What we’ve determined is that there were two male patrons that got into a disturbance over a female patron of the bar," Chesterfield Police Capt. Randy Horowitz told CBS 6. "The one subject displayed a firearm and fired at the other, hitting him. That subject is in serious but stable condition. Unfortunately, four other people received non-life-threatening injuries."
Police said that by the time they arrived at the scene, the gunman had fled.
"It wasn’t a situation where somebody was just shooting at everybody in the bar; it was all aimed at one person, and unfortunately, other people behind that person were hit by ricochets or missed shots," Horowitz said. "We’re working hard to locate that subject and get his side of the story."
Police have not yet released information about a shooting suspect.
Former pub employee Jonathan Kirkland came to the bar on Monday to check on his friends and former coworkers.
"I just came here to check on all of our old friends," Kirkland said. "You might see a scuffle in the parking lot or maybe a fistfight, but it’s never been any weapons, any violence; it’s always been a great place to hang out."
Anyone with information is asked to call Chesterfield police at 804-748-1251 or Crime Solvers at 804-748-0660.
