VIRGINIA BEACH

A 37-year-old man was arrested after his family was shot at while they were driving in the Chimney Hill Parkway area Thursday night.

About 11:30 p.m., Virginia Beach police officers were in the 800 block of Chimney Hill Parkway when they heard several gunshots in the area. The officers then spotted a white vehicle driving down the road at a high rate of speed, a police news release said. Officers stopped the vehicle and the victims said that they were fleeing the area after shots were fired from another vehicle that had been following them. 

Police said there were no injuries.

David Lee Stanley Whitehurst was taken into custody a short time later at his home. The Virginia Beach man was charged with three counts of attempted malicious assault and three counts of use of a firearm, a police news release said. He was being held at the Virginia Beach Correctional Center without bond.

He is the father of two of the victims and the estranged husband of another, police said in the news release.
