[ARCHIVED] Police Make Arrests Following Shootings

News Alert

Four suspects have been arrested for felony weapon offenses following shooting incidents this week that occurred in Purdum Woods Apartments in the 1500 block of Richmond Blvd. and Woodside Village Apartments in the 1300 block of Piney Forest Road.

Because this is an active investigation, the suspect names are not being released.

The Danville Police Department is investigating firearm-related incidents that occurred from July 11 through July 13. This is still an ongoing investigation.

Police are investigating two shooting incidents that occurred in Purdum Woods on July 11 and 13. No one was injured in either incident.

Officers also responded around 12:30 a.m. Wednesday, July 12, to Woodside Village to a shots fired call. One individual was found suffering from gunshot wounds. Their injuries appear to be non-life threatening.

Two other individuals showed up separately from Woodside Village to SOVAH Health Danville with gunshot wounds. One of those individuals has non-life threatening injuries, and the other is in critical condition.

This investigation is still active, has led to the seizure of multiple firearms, and these incidents are believed to be connected.

Anyone who has information is asked to please contact the Danville Police Department by either calling patrol at 434-799-6510 option 4, investigations at 434-799-6508 option 1, and option 1 again, calling 911, contacting Crime Stoppers at 434-793-0000, approach any officer you see, through social media, via email crimetips@danvilleva.gov, or use our crime tips app CARE at www.p3tips.com/tipform.aspx?ID=818#.
