HAMPTON, Va. (AP) - The reported locations of two fatal shootings that police in a southeastern Virginia city investigated this weekend were within a block of each other.
Hampton Police Department officers arriving Sunday morning at an address found a 29-year-old man struck by gunfire, according to an agency news release. The man was shot inside of a residence, police said. On Saturday night, police said a 39-year-old man who died also was shot inside of a residence.
