Three people were killed and three others were injured in a shooting in northeastern Virginia Tuesday evening, according to law enforcement.

At about 5:30 p.m., law enforcement received 911 calls about a shooting at a town house complex in Spotsylvania County, about 65 miles southwest of Washington, D.C., said Major Elizabeth Scott, spokesperson for the Spotsylvania Sheriff’s Office.
