Two people are dead and another is seriously injured after an overnight shooting in South Richmond.

Police received a call about 2:30 a.m. Sunday that three people had been shot in the 400 block of Westover Hills Boulevard. Two male victims died at the scene, and a female victim was taken to the hospital with life-threatening injuries, police said.

Police believe the shootings, which occurred in or at an apartment at Somerset Glen, a complex of three-story brick buildings just south of Forest Hill Avenue, stemmed from an argument at a party.

A police forensics team remained at the scene by late morning. An officer at the scene declined to comment.

Some neighbors said they didn't know about the shootings until they woke up and found police in their neighborhood.

Two residents said the shootings worried them. But one, who declined to give his name, said he had few options.

"I go where I can afford" to live, he said.

Anyone with information about the shootings is asked to call Crime Stoppers at 780-1000. Citizens can also text Crime Stoppers at 274637, using the key word “ITip” followed by the tip.
