Incident is latest in rash of shootings in Hampton

A man was shot in Hampton on Friday night and was taken to a hospital with wounds that were not deemed life-threatening.

It was the latest in a series of shootings in the city this week — one of them fatal.

An emergency 911 dispatcher said Saturday morning that Friday night’s shooting occurred outside on 600 block of Bell Street at 8:50 p.m.

That road runs between West Pembroke Avenue and Shell Road and is near Bassette Elementary School. The Hampton Police Division has not provided more details on the shooting.

Other incidents in Hampton this week include:

A driver of one car drove himself to the hospital, and a passenger in another was injured by shattered glass and treated for minor injuries. The wounds were not considered life-threatening.

A 20-year-old Hampton man, Jacoby Austin Behny, died Tuesday after being shot multiple times at 8:42 p.m. Monday in the 2100 block of Kecoughtan Road, police said. The block is near Colonial Landing Apartments and the intersection with Wythe Parkway. No arrests have been made in Behny’s slaying.
