MANASSAS, VA — Two separate shooting were reported in the Manassas area over the Thanksgiving weekend. A 17-year-old boy was shot on Thanksgiving and a 49-year-old man suffered life-threatening injuries when he was shot on Saturday, police said.

The first shooting was reported to authorities around 1 a.m. on Thursday, Nov. 25. The shooting occurred at the TGM Sudley Crossing Apartments located in the 10800 block of Gambril Drive, according to the police report.

"As officers were canvassing the area, they located the door to an apartment ajar and made entry inside" the Prince William County Police Department wrote in their report.

The victim, the 49-year-old man, was flown to a nearby hospital with life-threatening injuries. The accused, who was later identified as Lisa Gaye Myers, was taken into custody.
