RICHMOND, Virginia: Seven people were shot, two fatally, when gunfire rang out on Tuesday outside a downtown theatre where a high school graduation ceremony had recently concluded, causing attendees to flee in panic, weep and clutch their children, authorities and witnesses reported.

“As they heard the gunfire, it was obviously chaos," Edwards said."We had hundreds of people in Monroe Park, so people scattered. It was very chaotic at the scene.” School board member Jonathan Young told Richmond TV station WWBT that graduates and other attendees were exiting the building when they heard about 20 gunshots in rapid succession.

“I don’t have any more words on this,” Kamras said. “I’m just tired of seeing people get shot, our kids get shot. And I beg of the entire community to stop, to just stop.”
