In a press conference Tuesday night, Acting Police Chief Rick Edwards said five other victims sustained gunshot wounds.
RICHMOND, Va. — A gunman who opened fire minutes after a high school graduation in Richmond, Virginia, targeted an 18-year-old graduate he had a long-running dispute with, police said Wednesday.
“This was targeted at one individual ... that’s what we know at this time,” Edwards said during a news conference Wednesday. Jackson had just received his diploma at the graduation ceremony and walked to a nearby park with his father to reunite with the rest of their family when the shooting started, said Tameeka Jackson-Smith, Jackson’s mother and Smith’s wife. She said Smith was Jackson’s father, while Edwards later referred to Smith as his stepfather.
She said she was walking toward her husband and son when she saw a man run up behind them and start shooting.“He was just running and shooting. I had my daughter beside me and I saw her get hit by a car. My niece almost got hit by a car. I was trying to grab them,” she said. “I can’t shake the image of him receiving CPR on the ground,” still in his graduation gown, Kamras said.
