VIRGINIA — Four people, including the suspected gunman, were injured in a shooting early Saturday morning in Charlottesville, according to police.
Just before 12:45 a.m. on Nov. 1, officers responded to multiple 911 calls reporting an active shooter in the 1100 block of River Road. Police said an officer who was nearby heard gunfire and quickly arrived at the scene.

The suspected shooter, identified as 20-year-old Juan Gavin Castillo of Greene County, was also shot. Castillo faces several charges, including malicious wounding, use of a firearm in the commission of a felony, and maliciously discharging a firearm within a dwelling.
All four individuals — a 44-year-old man, a 44-year-old woman, a 20-year-old man from Charlottesville, and Castillo — were taken to UVA Medical Center and are reported to be in stable condition.
