Father, 18-year-old son ID’ed as victims of mass shooting at Virginia high school graduation

The two slain victims of Tuesday’s mass shooting at a Virginia high school graduation ceremony have been identified as an 18-year-old senior and his father who was killed just minutes after watching his son graduate.

A family member named the father and son as 36-year-old Renzo Smith and Shawn Jackson.

Gunfire erupted around 5:15 p.m. Tuesday outside Altria Theater in downtown Richmond, Virginia, as a crowd of graduates and their families were filing out of the venue.

Police said seven people were struck with bullets, leaving two dead and five wounded.

A 31-year-old sustained life-threatening injuries. Four others, ages 14, 42, 55, and 58, suffered gunshot wounds but were expected to recover.

At least 12 people were hurt in the chaos, or required treatment for anxiety.

Jackson’s 9-year-old sister was reportedly hit by a car in the mayhem triggered by the shooting, but she has since been released from the hospital, according to ABC News.
