Spotsylvania Resident Shot Suspect During Olde Greenwich Mass Shooting, No Charges Filed
Authorities have confirmed that a resident of the Olde Greenwich community in Spotsylvania County fired a weapon and struck one of the suspects involved in Tuesday’s deadly shooting that claimed three lives and injured several others.
According to a statement released Thursday by the Spotsylvania County Sheriff’s Office (SCSO), the armed resident will not face charges for his actions.
The incident unfolded around 5:30 p.m. on Tuesday, April 8, when deputies responded to reports of gunfire in the area of Olde Greenwich Circle, just outside Fredericksburg.
Upon arrival, they discovered multiple victims suffering from gunshot wounds.
Three individuals were pronounced dead, and at least three others were transported to local hospitals for treatment.
According to the sheriff’s office, the resident was inside his home when he heard what he described as “rapid gunfire” outside. Looking through a window, he observed “one individual with a long gun in the parking lot.”
The man immediately instructed a family member to call 911 before retrieving a firearm from inside the residence.
Once outside, the man fired a shot at the suspect, striking him. Shortly afterward, a neighbor informed the man that there were additional shooters in the vicinity.
The resident then retreated into his home and remained there until law enforcement arrived on scene.
Based on the preliminary investigation, the sheriff’s office determined that the man acted within his legal rights, and no charges will be pursued.
The SCSO identified the shooting as stemming from an illegal gun sale that escalated into a robbery.
Four individuals have been arrested and charged in connection with the violence, including two 16-year-olds, a 17-year-old, and 18-year-old Jeremiah Upson.
One of the 16-year-old suspects is being treated at a local hospital for a gunshot wound—believed to have been inflicted by the armed resident—and will be taken into custody upon his release.
The remaining three suspects are currently incarcerated without bond.
The victims who lost their lives in the shooting have been identified as 18-year-old Chase Feaster and 18-year-old Alonzo Goffney, both of Spotsylvania County.
The identity of the third victim, a 20-year-old male, is being withheld pending confirmation from the Office of the Chief Medical Examiner.
The investigation remains ongoing.
Authorities have praised the collaborative efforts of detectives, community members, and supporting agencies, including the Fredericksburg Police Department and the Virginia State Police.

Angela Johnson and Her Son DeAngelo Johnson Killed After Shooting Inside Home in Chicago, Mother’s Boyfriend in Custody
CHICAGO — A 47-year-old mother and her 27-year-old son were fatally shot inside a residence in Chicago’s Austin neighborhood on the West Side late Thursday night, September 24, 2026, according to Chicago police.
The victims were identified as Angela Johnson, 47, and DeAngelo Johnson, 27. Police said a suspect, identified as Angela Johnson’s boyfriend, was taken into custody following the shooting.
The deadly shooting happened in the 800 block of North Parkside Avenue at approximately 10:43 p.m. Witnesses reported hearing gunshots coming from the basement of the residence and called 911.
When Chicago police officers arrived, they found the two victims suffering from gunshot wounds.
Angela Johnson was found in the basement with a gunshot wound to her chest. Police-radio traffic indicated she had been shot on the right side of her chest.
DeAngelo Johnson was found on the first floor with multiple gunshot wounds. Radio traffic indicated that he had suffered two gunshot wounds to his back.
Both victims were initially unresponsive and in critical condition. Emergency personnel performed CPR on DeAngelo Johnson before both victims were transported to Mount Sinai Hospital, where they were pronounced dead.
According to police-radio traffic, one victim was pronounced dead at approximately 11:18 p.m., while the male victim was pronounced dead around 11:21 p.m.
Investigators found extensive evidence inside the residence, including approximately 23 shell casings in a basement bedroom. Additional shell casings were reportedly recovered in other areas of the basement, including the stairway, main room and bedroom.
Officers initially recovered a firearm and shell casings from the basement bedroom. Police later located a second firearm inside the home, bringing the total number of recovered firearms to two.
Authorities have not publicly stated who owned the firearms or confirmed which weapon, if either, was used in the fatal shooting.
Police also reported that DeAngelo Johnson was wearing an empty holster when officers found him on the first floor. That discovery prompted an officer-safety alert as officers searched the residence for the missing firearm.
Chicago police said the shooting appeared to be domestic-related and identified the alleged offender as the mother’s boyfriend.
Radio traffic indicated that a person had been detained by approximately 11:26 p.m. The official police report later confirmed that the known offender was taken into custody.
Two witnesses were reportedly available to identify the alleged offender, and officers conducted a show-up identification procedure near the scene.
Police have not released additional information about potential charges against the suspect.
The investigation into the Chicago Austin neighborhood double shooting remains ongoing. Detectives are continuing to examine the circumstances that led to the shooting, the relationship between the people involved and the role of the two recovered firearms.
The deaths of Angela Johnson and DeAngelo Johnson are being investigated as a double homicide.
