An off-duty Richmond police officer was wounded and a teenage gunman was killed when the two exchanged fire during an early morning attempted robbery at a Chesterfield County shopping center, police said.

The shooting occurred as two groups of males met “to facilitate the sale of an electronic gaming system,” Chesterfield police said in a release.

Maj. Frank Carpenter said the off-duty Richmond officer was accompanying the party selling the game system, and the teenager who was killed was the alleged would-be robber.
