HOPEWELL, Va. (AP) — A woman killed in a shooting Thanksgiving night in Hopewell was a firefighter in Richmond.
The Richmond Fire Department on Friday identified the woman as 33-year-old Ashley Nicole Berry. The Chesterfield resident was a lieutenant with the department, where she had worked since 2011.
