4 teenagers charged after mass shooting leaves 3 dead in Fredericksburg, Virginia

According to authorities, two of the suspects are 16-years-old, one a 17-year-old, and another is 18-year-old Jeremiah Upson. Two of the suspects are Spotsylvania County residents, and two are Caroline County residents. The names and mugshots of the minor suspects have not been released at this time.

The Spotsylvania County Sheriff’s Department reported receiving multiple calls about gunfire around 5:30 pm. Responding officers discovered three victims dead at the scene, while three others were rushed to the hospital with gunshot wounds. Investigators are still working to determine the ages of the victims and the motive behind the attack.

Witnesses described a terrifying scene. One resident shared a video showing two individuals holding long guns, walking down the middle of the street moments before gunfire erupted. Authorities have charged four teenage suspects involved in a mass shooting in a Fredericksburg neighborhood that left three people dead and at least three others injured.

A witness who lives in the neighborhood spoke with FOX 5. "I was coming down the hill I was looking forward and then I saw about three or four individuals, and I heard it and I saw bullets going everywhere, they were kind of going at each other," she said. "Then I saw some run off down the road and after a little bit they started walking back holding their big guns, and they started walking up the hill, then they cut off behind the townhouses and that's when the first officer arrived on scene."

"In connection with the Olde Greenwich incident, all suspects are in custody and there is no threat to public safety. A formal press release is forthcoming," the Spotsylvania Sheriff's Office announced on Wednesday. Authorities processed a red Mercedes riddled with bullet holes and used drones to search nearby woods for suspects.

Two 18-year-old men and one 20-year-old man were killed in the shooting, according to the sheriff’s office.
