VIRGINIA — One person was killed and four others were injured in a late-night shooting in Danville, according to the Danville Police Department.
Officers responded to multiple reports of shots fired around 11:36 p.m. on April 18 in the 700 block of Arlington Road. Upon arrival, they found a man lying in a driveway suffering from a gunshot wound.
Police identified the victim as 34-year-old Christopher Darnell Moore of Danville. He was given life-saving aid at the scene and transported to SOVAH Health Danville, where he later died from his injuries.
As officers were responding, four additional victims arrived at the hospital in private vehicles with gunshot wounds. Investigators said a large gathering was taking place at a home on Arlington Road when multiple shots were fired, striking all five individuals at the same location.
The surviving victims—a 48-year-old man, a 33-year-old man, a 25-year-old woman, and an 18-year-old woman, all from Danville—were treated for what appeared to be non-life-threatening injuries.
Police said the shooting does not appear to be a random act. The investigation remains active and ongoing, and authorities are asking anyone with information to contact the Danville Police Department.
