Hampton authorities are asking for the public’s help to identify the person responsible for a shooting early Sunday that left an Amazon employee man critically injured in the parking lot of the facility.
The shooting happened around 12:18 a.m. in the 2000 block of Enterprise Parkway. Investigators said the victim was sitting in his vehicle when someone fired multiple shots, hitting him. The shooter then drove away.
The man was taken to a local hospital with life-threatening injuries.
Officials said the shooting appears to be an isolated incident, but they are still working to determine what led up to it.
Amazon issued a statement to News 3 Sunday night, saying:
“Our thoughts are with our employee as he recovers, and we remain focused on supporting our team. We're working closely with law enforcement while they investigate this incident.”
The company said it has increased on-site security personnel as a precaution. All employees were sent home with pay after the shooting, and some morning shifts were also canceled.
Anyone with information is asked to call Hampton police at 757-727-6111 or submit an anonymous tip to the Crime Line at 1-888-LOCK-U-UP. Tips can also be sent through P3Tips.com. Callers may be eligible for a reward of up to $1,500.
