Criminal Wake-Up Calls

Gilpin Court is one of Richmond's most dangerous neighborhoods.  It's government housing (the projects) and this is not the place you want to be.  It's sad to admit but we often don't cover shootings in this area anymore because they are so common. 


Recently I woke up at 4am on a freezing cold winter morning and and spent the next five hours in Gilpin Court.  My photographer and I followed cops as they tried to find unsuspecting criminals wanted on outstanding warrants.  


It was definitely an eye-opening experience.  


I can't describe everything we saw and witnessed...but it was something else!  


Here's the story we aired last night.  One day I hope to show you the footage we couldn't put on TV - it's pretty wild!
