Juvenile Hospitalized In Apparent Shooting In Burke

BURKE, VA — Fairfax County detectives are investigating an apparent shooting in Burke Wednesday afternoon.

The incident was reported around 11:45 a.m. in the 10300 block of Steamboat Landing Lane. A 17-year-old boy was found with an apparent gunshot wound and went to the hospital with life-threatening injuries. He remains hospitalized.

All involved parties are accounted for, and detectives continue to investigate. An 18-year-old man known to the victim was in the home and is cooperating with detectives. Police say there is no ongoing threat to public safety. No charges have been announced.

Detectives are investigating the Burke shooting and two others that happened over 36 hours. On Tuesday, a juvenile boy was found dead at the Motel 6 at 6868 Springfield Boulevard in Springfield.

On Wednesday night, police responded to a shooting at the Sharpshooters Range at 8194M Terminal Road in Lorton. Officers found two adult men suffering from upper body gunshot wounds. Both men were taken to the hospital and one was determined to have life-threatening injuries. Preliminary investigations indicate the incident was domestic-related, and there is no ongoing threat to public safety.

"All three of these cases remain under active investigation and our team of detectives are working extra hours to methodically examine evidence and interview all witnesses," said Maj. Ed O'Carroll, the Major Crimes Bureau commander. "I am deeply appreciative of all they have done on each of these important cases and the others they are assigned.
