The prom is bloody in Virginia. 2 dead and 5 injured

Two people have been killed and five others injured in a shooting during a high school graduation ceremony in Richmond, Virginia.

The shooting outside the Atria Theater had students in graduation gowns running for their lives.

The shooting happened during a ceremony for Huguenot High School.

Another graduation scheduled for Tuesday was postponed and the award was canceled.

The victims are an 18-year-old who was part of the graduating class and his 36-year-old father. Police have not yet released their identities.

A 19-year-old suspect has been taken into custody, according to Richmond Police Chief Rick Edwards. He said police believe he knew at least one of the victims.

"A student should be able to go to graduation, parade and enjoy the accomplishment with their friends and families," he said, calling the shooting a "selfish act."
