WASHINGTON — One man died and two others were injured in a shooting early Friday morning at an apartment complex in Fredericksburg, Virginia, that police are continuing to investigate.

The Fredericksburg Police Department identified the man who died as 21-year-old Christopher Williams.

Fredericksburg Police said they first received a call about disturbance from the Kendalwood Apartment Complex after midnight on Friday and while on their way there received another call about a shooting at the same complex.

When officers arrived, they found Williams suffering from two apparent gunshot wounds. Two additional victims suffering from nonfatal gunshot wounds were taken to the hospital. They are Jamique McAllister, 18, and Markuis Lucas, 19, both of Fredericksburg, police said.
