USA: mass shooting after school graduation; 2 killed, 5 injured in Virginia

Yet another mass shooting incident has rocked the United States of America.

7 people were shot following a high school graduation ceremony at a theatre in Richmond, Virginia. At least two of the victims died.

A 19-year-old suspect tried to flee but was arrested and will be charged with two counts of second-degree murder, police said.

Around 12 other persons were injured or treated for anxiety due to the mayhem, police said.

Richmond Mayor Levar Stoney vowed to ensure anyone responsible faces justice. "This should not be happening anywhere," Stoney said.

Officers inside the theatre, where the graduation ceremony for Huguenot High School was taking place, heard gunfire around 5:15 p.m. and radioed to police stationed outside, who found multiple victims
