Gloucester Va Shooting: Around 1:05 on Sunday morning, the Gloucester County Sheriff’s Office responded to a shooting in the 7800 Block of Guinea Road. This is in Gloucester’s Hayes neighborhood.
The Gloucester County Sheriff’s Office said that when deputies arrived, they saw a sizable gathering of people at a residence. One male was discovered deceased outside the house, according to deputies, with what appeared to be a gunshot wound.
Deputies reported that a second male was discovered with non-life-threatening wounds from a gunshot wound. After being treated at Riverside Regional Medical Center, he was later released.

Winnington, according to authorities, has been charged with malicious wounding and using a handgun to commit a crime. According to deputies, further charges will be filed as the investigation progresses.
Winnington is currently at large, allegedly armed, and is considered dangerous, according to deputies who published a photo of him on Sunday.
