HAMPTON, Va. — The Hampton Police Division is investigating a shooting that happened Monday night on Doolittle Road in the Langley Square apartment complex.
A police spokesperson said emergency dispatchers got several calls around 7:35 p.m. reporting a shooting that had just occurred at that location, which is about a block north of West Mercury Boulevard, and three blocks west of North King Street.
While officers were on the way, dispatchers got updated information that the man who'd been shot was taken to a local hospital by personal vehicle. Police say he is currently being treated for injuries described as life-threatening.
Investigators believe that the victim and the suspect were involved in an argument that escalated. They say the suspect pulled out a gun and shot the victim several times.
