NORFOLK, Va. — Police in Norfolk say a person is dead following a shooting on Thursday night.
The victim is identified as 38-year-old Theron L. Hammond, of Hampton.
According to Norfolk Police, they received a report of a shooting in the 6600 block of Paul Jones Lane shortly before 9:30 p.m. Officers arrived to find Hammond had been shot. He was pronounced dead at the scene.
Police were notified a short time later that a second gunshot victim, a 27-year-old man, had arrived at Sentara Norfolk General Hospital by car. The man’s gunshot wound is not considered life-threatening. He is expected to be OK.
