Hampton (City) Police Spokesperson Cpl. Paula Ensley said at around 12:15 a.m. Saturday, officers responded to a call for a shooting victim in the 2000 block of W. Mercury Boulevard. Ensley said Dominique Smith accidentally shot someone in the parking lot of Fusions Night Club and tried to find a hospital before calling for help from the BJ's parking lot on Power Plant Pkwy.
Smith is charged with one count of Reckless Handling of a Firearm.
