MANASSAS, VA – Three people were seriously injured Wednesday in a shooting in Manassas, and a search is underway for the suspect, according to police.

According to Manassas police, three men were left with life-threatening injuries after they were shot by a coworker at their place of employment, United Rentals, located in the 9400 block of Wellington Road, at about 7 a.m. Wednesday.

Speaking to the press later Wednesday morning, Manassas City Police Chief Douglas Keen said two victims had been transported to Prince William Hospital and the third to a Fairfax hospital.

Keen said police believe a handgun was used in the attack, but the weapon was not found at the scene. Many other employees were at the site at the time of the shooting, he said.

The shooting suspect is Marvin Grant, 37, described as a light-skinned Black man approximately 5 feet 9 inches tall with brown eyes and brown hair. He may be driving a gray Toyota Camry or Toyota Corolla displaying temporary North Carolina registration tags.

Anyone who sees the suspect or vehicle should call 911.

Manassas police say they believe Grant has left the Northern Virginia area, and that they are distributing descriptions of the suspect and vehicle across the state.

Keen said Manassas City Police are not currently aware of any prior interaction with Grant, and that so far they only have a North Carolina address for him.

Fox 5 reported that police initially blocked access to Jennie Dean Elementary School as part of their investigation, and the school was put on "secure the building" status. Manassas police announced at 10 a.m. that, "Out of an abundance of caution and coordination, Dean Elementary has decided to remain on secure the building status for the [remainder] of the school day."

According to Keen, all other schools have been released from any security procedures or lockdowns, and the community shelter-in-place order has been lifted.
