Just got this very nondescript press release from the city..
Charlottesville Police are investigating a shooting incident that occurred in the 2000 block of Michie Drive at around 11:30 PM last evening.
Two twenty year old black male subjects were the victims of gunfire. Their injuries are not life threatening, and both provided their own transportation to the hospital where police were notified.
Investigators are not releasing any additional information with respect to victim identity or the precise nature of their injuries.
The suspect in this incident has been described as a black male, approximately 5’8” tall and was said to be wearing a white tee shirt. The suspect may have been operating a black 4 door sedan.
This investigation is in the very early stages and is ongoing. Anyone with information is asked to call Crime Stoppers at 977-4000.
Does this sound like a Drive By?

sounds like a drug deal gone wrong. Michie Drive is a random dead-end road off of Hydraulic near the K-Mart so I’m not sure if a drive-by would make sense
but with the trigger-happy kids around here, who knows.
I guess it would be a drive-by followed by a rapid reverse back where they came from or even worse a 3 point k-turn which would look SO uncool…. especially if they hit a mail box or a curbside recycling bin.
/black 4 door sedan… who would have thought.
On a side note…. if it was a drive by, how come they described the suspect as being 5′8″?
Some interesting and offbeat issue were at hand. The usual press update system was cleared of data and nothing was being said on radios. Everything was “call me on my cell.” Seemed to have the press very curious…
@3 classic case of a “walk-by”, then haul ass to the black 4 door get away car. You’d think thay would hide the sedan a little better, not that our best and brightest are involved in these things.
