A woman was shot around 1:45 p.m. Thursday directly in front of the Republican Party of Virginia offices in Richmond, suffering non-life-threatening injuries, according to Richmond Police Chief Rick Edwards. The woman, believed to be an innocent bystander, was conscious and appeared to have been struck in the shoulder before being taken to a hospital, where she is expected to survive. Police said the shooting had nothing to do with the upcoming midterm elections or the operations of the Republican Party of Virginia.
A woman in custody at a hair salon across the street told police she fired shots in self-defense after a man with whom she had an ongoing dispute entered the shop. Police believe the man may have been shot, based on blood found at the scene, and Chief Edwards urged him to turn himself in.
