A 17-year-old Virginia honor student has been arrested for fatally shooting a classmate as he walked down the street Tuesday afternoon.
School officials in the county of Greensville have confirmed that the suspect in the shooting death of a student was also a student at Greensville County High School.
“Last night, a Greensville County High School student was killed in what appears to be a senseless act of violence,” Dr. Kelvin Edwards, superintendent of Greensville Schools, wrote.
Kenneth Bennett, who lives on South Braxton Avenue and witnessed the shooting, told 8News the scene was horrible to see.
“I heard a pop, then the young lady went down, the young man turns, they were just down the street, and then a second pop.
And then he went down,” he said. “I really, I can’t really describe it. I just ran out to see what I could do to help, you know, the individuals that were down on the ground.”
Bennett added that the neighborhood is unfortunately no stranger to gun violence, and that there have been a number of shootings in the area.
