Gunshots Hit Area Homes — Again — in Woodbridge: Police

WOODBRIDGE, VA — Three area homes were struck by gunfire Saturday with no injuries reported, according to Prince William County Police.

But the incidents nonetheless mirror a troubling trend, police say, in which at least 20 homes have suffered similar fates this year in the county.

Police say the first incident happened shortly before 2 a.m. in the area of Milroy Drive and Brockenbrough Drive in Dumfries. Two unoccupied vehicles and a residence was hit.

The second incident happened shortly after 2:30 p.m. in the 4100 block of Hoffman Drive, and a dark sedan was seen leaving the scene.

The third incident happened shortly before 10 p.m. in the 13400 block of Keytone Road, and a silver sedan was seen leaving the scene.

Prince William County believe the rash of shots into or at homes this year is partly due to residents having personal firearms stolen from their homes or vehicles, and offered tips last month how to avoid such thefts.
