3 women hurt in overnight shooting in Suffolk

One victim was able to tell police that the incident itself took place on the 6000 block of Old College Drive after a physical fight had started.

SUFFOLK, Va. — The Suffolk Police Department is investigating a triple shooting that happened early Monday morning. They believe the cause of the shooting was from a fight that happened at a home on Old College Drive. 

According to police, they got the first call to respond at 12:38 a.m. to respond to 6110 College Drive.

That's at Kickback Jacks restaurant and sports bar. 

The manager of the restaurant told 13News Now the woman hurt saw the lights on and asked for help and they called 911.

Detectives said the woman told them the shooting happened at a home on Old College Drive. During their investigation, they learned two more women went to the hospital after getting shot at the same location.

Myrick says two women are in critical condition.

The triple shooting in the neighborhood on Old College Drive is causing some people to worry about their safety.

“It's getting a lot closer to home. It feels like every day it’s getting closer and closer and I’m kind of scared that it’s going to eventually end up on my doorstep," Suffolk resident Alisha Douglas said.

Douglas lives a few houses from where police are investigating the shooting. She said she heard about seven to nine gunshots and saw the ambulances and police cars across the street at the restaurant.

“I wish I could have known more so I could have helped. I wish our neighborhood area was more involved that way it didn’t have to get that far. And I wish they weren’t in a situation where that could have been an issue, to begin with," Douglas said.

This is an ongoing investigation. If you know anything that could help the police, call the Crime Line at 1-888-LOCK-U-UP option 5, or submit an anonymous online tip by clicking here.
