Shootout on the 100 block of Poe Street
The RTD is reporting a shootout on Poe Street:
Richmond police Capt. Paul Kiniry said the man was taken to VCU Medical Center after the 8:54 p.m. shooting to be treated for a gunshot wound to the back that was not believed to be life-threatening.
Kiniry said the man exchanged gunfire with a group of unknown males in the 100 block of Poe Street, and after he was struck, he drove about six blocks to a store on Brookland Park Boulevard near Hanes Avenue, where authorities were called.
This shooting makes the eighth in the Northside in 2012. You can see a map of all of the Northside’s violent crime in 2012 here (red pinpoints are shootings).

This was basically right behind the Wingnut. We ran out with medic gear, but the guy who got shot was gone. We Copwatched for a little bit, after the cops eventually got there. This was at least the 3rd large volley of gunfire in the past 2 weeks right in this area.
