A sudden spike in Charlottesvilleâs homicides have police urging residents to âstay vigilantâ
Share
There have been four major shootings in Charlottesville since November â two of which are what police are calling âambush-styleâ attacks, where the perpetrators fired dozens of bullets at someone.Â
This sudden rash of shootings â three of which were homicides â is uncharacteristic for a city thatâs averaged less than three homicides in a year, and it has police urging residents to be cautious.
âWe donât normally have 25, 30 casings in a roadway,â said James Mooney, Charlottesvilleâs assistant police chief. âThis is out of the ordinary, is what I would say. And I donât know whatâs driving this.â
