Deputy Chief Emanuel Chambliss said that one person was shot at the first shooting location behind restaurants on Fort Mahone Street.
The second shooting happened roughly five to 10 minutes later on Holly Hill Drive, according to CBS affiliate reporter Wayne Covil.
Chambliss confirmed that four people were shot at this location.
“It is believed that two of them are teenagers and one is an adult,” Covil said.
As Covil broadcasted the chaotic scene of the second shooting on Facebook Live, the news broke of a third shooting on the city’s West End.
Officers said that a person was reportedly shot in the head on Boydton Plank Road.
“It’s real tough. We’re being that told we’ve got adults as well as children. I don’t have ages yet,” Chambliss said.
“It’s an active scene here. A lot of people here,” Covil said in the broadcast. “What is happening and going on in Petersburg is hard to describe.”
As the scenes are still active, residents are urged to avoid the locations of the shootings.
