THREE TEENS SHOT

Three teenagers attending a party at an apartment were injured late Friday when an assailant opened fire through a window, police said.

The incident occurred about 11:50 p.m. in the 400 block of Denbigh Blvd.

Police said the suspect, who fled and had not been identified, had argued with someone earlier in the evening and apparently believed that individual was attending the party.

A 15-year-old boy was listed in critical condition Saturday at Riverside Regional Medical Center with a chest wound; a 17-year-old man, who also was shot in the chest, was listed in serious condition at Riverside; a 19-year-old woman was listed in stable condition at Sentara Norfolk General Hospital with a neck wound.

The names of the victims were not released.

The only description of the suspect was that he was white and that he was believed to have driven away in a small red car.
