Two people were treated for falls one juvenile was struck by a car and sustained injuries that were not life-threatening and nine people were treated at the scene for minor injuries or anxiety, according to police spokeswoman Tracy Walker. “That prompted, as you would expect, hundreds of persons in an effort to flee the gunfire to return to the building,” Young said.

School board member Jonathan Young told Richmond TV station WWBT that graduates and other attendees were leaving the building when they heard about 20 gunshots in rapid succession. Officers inside the theater, where the graduation ceremony for Huguenot high school had been taking place, heard gunfire around 5.15pm and radioed to police stationed outside, who found multiple victims, Edwards said. “This should not be happening anywhere,” Stoney said. The Richmond mayor, Levar Stoney, vowed to ensure anyone responsible faced justice. Police initially said two suspects were detained, but Edwards said later that they determined one of them was not involved. Six people were brought to VCU Medical Center and their conditions ranged from serious to critical late on Tuesday, VCU Health System spokesperson Mary Kate Brogan said. “It’s just incredibly tragic that someone decided to bring a gun to this incident and rain terror on our community.” People should have felt safe at a graduation,” Edwards said. Their names were not released, but police said they believed the suspect, who was not immediately identified, knew at least one of the victims. Edwards said one of the people who was killed was an 18-year-old male student who had just graduated, while the other was a 36-year-old man who was there for the graduation.
