Assault with a Deadly Weapon
On June 19, at approximately 7:45 pm, patrol officers responded to a hit and run in the cul-de-sac at the 300 block of South Dunning. The information indicated that a person had been hit by a vehicle and was lying in the cul-de-sac. The suspect fled in a vehicle before police arrived on scene.
Responding officers found the 54-year-old victim lying in the street, losing consciousness. The victim was transported to VCMC, where she is being treated for life-threatening injuries.
