2 adults, 2 teens charged in Walmart shooting

A man and a woman were shot in their car after an altercation outside of Walmart Tuesday evening. Police say all suspects are in custody.

WARRENTON, Va. — Two adults and two teens have been charged with multiple crimes after two people were shot outside of Walmart in Warrenton, Virginia Tuesday evening.

Law enforcement was called to the scene around 5:15 p.m. Police said after a confrontation in front of the Walmart parking lot, an unknown male shot a 20-year-old man and an 18-year-old woman who were sitting inside of a vehicle.

The initial investigation determined during the confrontation, the unknown male revealed a handgun and fired at least one shot into the vehicle. The gunshot hit both the male and the female passenger. Police said a third passenger was unharmed.

The victims inside the car then drove next door to a Home Depot and called 9-1-1. They were then taken to a nearby hospital and treated with non life-threatening injuries, police said.

The shooting led to a large law enforcement presence in the Walmart and Home Depot area.
