The Fredericksburg Police Department is actively investigating a fatal shooting that occurred earlier today

At 2:56 p.m., the Fredericksburg E-911 Center received a call for shots fired in the 400 block of Chadwick Court. Patrol officers arrived at 2:59 p.m. to discover a male unresponsive, lying in a parking space with multiple gunshot wounds. Patrol officers performed CPR and provided life-saving measures until EMS arrived and transported the victim to a nearby hospital. Patrol officers set up a perimeter around the scene, interviewed bystanders, and began the investigation while a detective was requested to respond to the incident.
