Upon arrival, officers found a man suffering from a gunshot wound to his upper body and sitting alone in a Chrysler sedan that was parked in the middle of a roadway, according to the police statement. The man, identified by police at 22-year-old Jay'Shaun Tiejae White of Hurt, Virginia, was pronounced dead at the scene, authorities said.

A man believed to have been driving the Chrysler when the shooting broke out was discovered on an adjacent street also suffering from a gunshot wound, police said, adding that he was taken by ambulance to the SOVAH Health hospital in Danville. His condition was not immediately available.

Three other gunshot victims, two adult men and a 19-year-old woman, later showed up in private vehicles at SOVAH Health and were treated for their injuries, police said.

or something? I mean, I know guns are absolutely everywhere, and things like this happen every weekend... but to have two in two different states featured prominently in the lineup tonight? Just makes me wonder if there's something behind them besides personal grudges, etc.
