The area around Richards and Water Streets is closed, and the VPD says it could stay that way for the next several hours.

The shooting happened inside the Waterfront transit station at about 2:15 a.m.  One of the victims may have run down Water Street, which is why such a large area is closed.

Police issued a warning Friday to anyone thinking of heading into the entertainment district this weekend that there was a "high probability" of gang-related violence.

Alcohol is believed to have fueled the fight.  Police dogs helped track down a suspect who is in police custody.
