Richmond Police Chief Gerald Smith said authorities prevented a planned mass shooting at the city’s Fourth of July event at Dogwood Dell despite being told by his own department that a specific location was “unknown.”

During a July 6 press conference, chief Smith told reporters that a tip from a “hero citizen” led to an investigation that thwarted a planned shooting targeting the event held at the Dogwood Dell amphitheater in Byrd Park.

“A subject who I’m referring to as a hero citizen picked up the phone, overheard a conversation that there was a mass shooting being planned here in the Richmond of Virginia at our Fourth of July celebration at the Dell,” Smith said.
