CHESAPEAKE, Va. (WAVY) - Two men were shot as they stood outside a Christmas party in Chesapeake just after midnight Sunday.

Witnesses told Chesapeake police that around 12:45 a.m. an unknown black male was chasing another unknown black male when they came to a property in the 400 block of Cobblewood Bend. The suspect then began shooting at the person he was chasing.
