NEWPORT NEWS, Va. — The Newport News Police Department is investigating a shooting that left one woman dead today.
According to a release, police received the call that there had been a shooting in the 1200 block of 29th Street at 2:26 p.m.
When they arrived, they found a woman inside a home who had died. No names have been released at this time.
“It’s real close to where you be at and stuff. So you don’t like to see nothing like that," said neighbor Kristan King.
King lives near the home where the officers are investigating a deadly shooting.
“A lot of stuff don't really go on in this area. So this is real sad man," said King.
King says the neighborhood is very close and a lot of families live on this street, and he noted there’s a playground right across from the home.
The police presence and finding out a woman died has him wondering why this happened.
“I really don't know what happened in there but whatever happened I'm sorry to hear it," said King.
King hopes police officers figure out the cause.
“Try to stay out of the way man it’s kind of crazy out here. You don’t want to be in no situations like these. You got guns put them up; try to keep them away from the kids and the woman. That’s sad it was a woman," said King.
