NORFOLK, Va. — A man is dead and Norfolk Sheriff's Office deputy is injured after a Norfolk shooting Wednesday night.
“Sounded like very loud firecrackers right at your doorstep," a neighbor who wished to remain anonymous told 13News Now.
According to a tweet from the Norfolk Police Dept., the incident took place in the 8000 block of Glade Road just before 9:45 p.m.
Police said a man was pronounced dead at the scene by investigators. A news release from the Norfolk Sheriff's Office later announced that the man who survived was an off-duty deputy.
A spokesperson from the sheriff's office said the deputy was shot in the face during the exchange; however, he is said to be in stable condition.
Bullets from the exchange of gunfire pierced the nearby home of Jennilyn Hangka.
“I heard the gunshots four or five times, then I saw a shot at my wall, and that’s my dad's window where he sleeps," she said.
Virginia State Police will be investigating the incident.
