Two of the men involved in a shooting at a Sonic restaurant in Carrollton Thursday are in stable condition and one has been released from the hospital.
James T. Outlaw, a 20-year-old from Smithfield, was released from Riverside Regional Medical Center in Newport News Friday, said hospital spokesman Peter Glacola. Jamario Louis Harper and Cedric Donell Smith, both 19-year-olds from Newport News, remained in stable condition at Sentara Norfolk General Hospital, said hospital spokeswoman Sandra Miller. She said she did not know when they would be released.
The three men were wounded during a gunfire exchange Thursday that resulted in the death of Tyrone Ramone Seaborne, an 18-year-old from Smithfield. Officers with the Isle of Wight County Sheriff’s Office recovered two guns from the scene, where shell casings indicated a possible third gun’s involvement, Don Robertson, an Isle of Wight County spokesman, said in an e-mail.
Harper and Smith were in a burgundy Jeep Cherokee and Seaborne and Outlaw were in a white Honda Accord when the gunfire exchange occurred, he said.
No charges had been filed as of Friday afternoon but the sheriff plans to consult with the Commonwealth’s Attorney Monday to determine what charges will be filed, Robertson said.

I would still like to know
I would still like to know where the guns involved came from and if the were legal or illegal. I don't think we can focus on this problem until we know these facts.
Sorry old bean
I assume that since you commented on the original post by "patriot" and called it "spot on" that you supported his obvious point and silly logic.
My bad.
Now I see you were just pointing out that the United States isn't an island - I'm sure a lot of posters here didn't know that - and that there will always be violence. Thought-provoking stuff.
Cheerio, MGK
Missed and twisted point!
Typical tactic to divert attention from the point often utilized when said point nullifies any argument from the opposition.
medical treatment
who pays for the hospital bills???

Why did you stop there. Your one-track mind should be thrown in the garbage bin with everything else you have said. MY argument, if you was reading correctly, was pointing out the fact that even that music(Hip Hop)is around, of course some lyrics are horrible to listen to BUT, it does not define me.That music does not INSTRUCT me to go out to do any of the things they say.Are YOU still wearing those rainbow colors from the 60's amd 70's. Your home sets those morals. What are you setting at home for your children. Exactly...another compalint made with no solution, without taking overship because " its not my problem" This area is pathetic.
Maynard!
Not sure to whom you're responding, something you saw somewhere else?
Someone included an article on knife violence in Britain and I commented that there is knife violence in Japan, too, because guns are pretty heavily controlled in both places. People are people--when they fight, they're going to find a weapon, even, as you say a baseball bat.
I surely was not connecting any dots to the U.S., where we have pretty much everything available a thug could want for a fight, and always will have (because we have an open border with Canada and a porous border with Mexico and Central and South America). Even if we were to control *rocks* in the U.S., they would get in from somewhere else. We are not Great Britain nor Japan, we are not an island. That was my point. Sorry if it seemed that I was being alarmist about knives or baseball bats in the U.S. Never crossed my mind. MGM
Liberals can't make this stuff up
The guns nuts have topped their old mark and set a new standard for silly logic.
To wit:
If we regulate guns, we will face a wave of knife violence.
OMG. Imagine - knife violence instead of gun violence. The implications are downright frightening.
You know those nasty liberals will want to outlaw knives next. Then we will be hit by a wave of baseball bat violence.
The cycle of carnage and liberal knee jerk reactions will never end. Within less than a decade, we will be reduced to sticks and stones violence.
With logic like this, who needs the Comedy Channel?
Ridiculous comparison
Comparing Hip Hop to the Hippie Era made me laugh so hard. What a totally uneducated comparison.
I guess you need to define hip hop a bit better as a lot of us throw it in the same garbage bin as thug rap and that sort of useless rubbish. Where is the culture in music that simply glorifies materialism, legitimizes baby mommas vs family life, and celebrates putting bullets a cops?
Patriot!
Your British comment was, well, spot on, as they say.
We often mention Britain and Japan as examples of wonderfully controlled countries with no gun violence. Umm, let's see. They're islands, so, until now, those bad boy weapons needed to be smuggled in via boats or planes.
Japan also is facing a wave of knife violence, just like Britain. I predict the next phase will be guns in Britain because the Chunnel has pretty much connected them to mainland Europe.
Not sure where the knives are coming from in Japan, unless they are using legitimate martial arts knives for robberies. Cheers, MGM
SIMON THANK YOU
I am glad to hear some sense up here. To those of you that are dwelling on stats, WHAT are you doing to help this situation WE are ALL experiencing NOW. Quoting stats while you are letting TV and video games and your environment raise your kids will net you the same results. The Hip-Hop culture and its influence is no different then your Hippie revolution. THAT does NOT define you...RACE don’t define you. Your HOME does. That’s were the strength and character is built. We need to start taking responsibility for that and GET INTO OUR KIDS LIVES, know who their friends are. Provide more for them. It feels like I am pleading for something that should already be there. Let’s remove the word race here. If your kids are constantly in a negative environment…what’s the product?
