RICHMOND, Va. (AP) — A woman and her 3-month-old daughter were killed and three people were wounded after two groups of people exchanged gunfire, shooting indiscriminately across an apartment courtyard filled with children, Richmond police said Wednesday.
Police Chief Gerald Smith announced the infant's death at a news conference and said detectives were reviewing video recordings of Tuesday evening's shootings in an effort to identify suspects.
Smith said police believe one group of perpetrators started shooting outside the apartment complex in south Richmond and struck the victims, who he said were innocent bystanders. Another group returned fire, Smith said, but police don't believe they struck anyone.
