NORFOLK, Va. — Two people were killed and three others injured during an early morning shooting Saturday outside a downtown Norfolk restaurant and bar. Among the dead was 25-year-old Virginian-Pilot reporter Sierra Jenkins, who was caught in the gunfire.
The incident happened shortly before 2 a.m. outside Chicho’s Pizza Backstage, a popular restaurant and bar on Granby Street adjacent to Tidewater Community College’s downtown Norfolk campus.
Manager Rory Schindel said bartenders had announced last call for drinks and turned up the lights at about 1:30 a.m. People were starting to leave the business when an argument began outside. Soon afterward, shots rang out.
