A gun accidentally discharged at a youth soccer game in Henrico on Saturday, via WTVR. The gun belonged to a retired federal law enforcement officer and fired after falling out of a spectator’s bag. No one was injured and no charges have been filed, although the incident is under investigation.
The Amigos Mexican Restaurant located at 1808 Staples Mill Road is closing. Today will be the last day it is open for business.
