NORTHAMPTON CO., Va. — The man who authorities say opened fire in multiple locations in Northampton County early Monday morning has been charged in the incident that left his mother and girlfriend dead and three others shot.
Trevor Henriques, 45, now faces a number of charges — including two counts of attempted aggravated murder of a law enforcement officer — in connection with the shooting rampage on Monday and he is expected to face more as the investigation continues, according to the Northampton County Sheriff's Office.
The two women shot dead were identified Wednesday as Henriques' mother, 70-year-old Katrina Henriques, and his girlfriend, 37-year-old Rebecca Knox. The other three victims were also known to Henriques but officials have not said how.
