Two wounded in Russell Avenue shooting incident
Two people were shot during an incident in a Bristol, Virginia neighborhood Thursday afternoon.
A preliminary report said both victims were transported to area hospitals after the shooting on Russell Street. An eyewitness told Bristol Broadcasting that a police department investigator scooped one of the victims into his arms then ran down the street to get the man into an awaiting ambulance.
The witness also said a homeowner who lived on the street started administering medical aid to one of the victims shortly after the shooting. The report said one person was taken into custody while Chief of Police Byron Ashbrook told us the shooting was an isolated incident.
The case remains under review and no names have been released by police officials.
