NORFOLK, Va. (AP) - Police and Norfolk State University officials say a freshman member of the college’s football team has been fatally shot.
Norfolk police said in a statement Saturday that officers responding to a report of a shooting Friday night found 18-year-old Nicholas Ackies with a gunshot wound. He was pronounced dead at the scene.
