Richmond Shooting

Richmond Police are trying to determine if a weekend shooting at an independent living facility was an act of self defense. It happened Sunday afternoon at the Fairmont House on North 21st Street.

Richmond investigators tell us two residents got into an altercation over money when one pulled out a knife. Then, the other shot him. Several other people were at the home at the time.

"I head no arguing, nothing. All I heard was a gun," said one resident.

The victim is recovering in the hospital though his exact condition is not known. Police say charges may not be filed in the case.
