NORTHUMBERLAND COUNTY, Va. -- Three people were injured in what investigators are calling a "brazen" shooting in rural Northumberland County Saturday night, Crime Insider sources told Jon Burkett.
The violence happened at Waverly Road and Route 360 in Lilian not far from Reedville at "some type of a yard party," Burkett said.
"Deputies and detectives were dispatched, finding three victims suffering from gunshot wounds," officials with the Northumberland County Sheriff's Office said. "All three victims were ultimately flown out with injuries ranging from serious to life-threatening."
Officials said that while the shooting "was brazen, there is no threat to the greater public."
No suspect information was available at last check.
"Detectives are continuing to actively work the case. Public assistance is critical in these types of investigations," officials said.
