Father and son, 18, killed in Virginia graduation ceremony pictured

A father and son have been named and pictured as the victims of the mass shooting at a graduation ceremony. 

The shooting took place on the Virginia Commonwealth University campus on Tuesday after a high school graduation ceremony, resulting in the tragic deaths of an 18-year-old recent graduate and his father.

A 19-year-old suspect tried to escape on foot but was arrested and will be charged with two counts of second-degree murder, interim Richmond Police Chief Rick Edwards said.

Five others were wounded by the gunfire outside the state capital’s city-owned Altria Theatre, which is across the street from a large park and in the middle of the Virginia Commonwealth University campus.

At least 12 others were injured or treated for anxiety in the aftermath of the gunfire, according to police, with people who had attended the ceremony and many others in the surrounding area fleeing in pan.
