Teenage Boys Shoot Girl With BB Guns, All Arrested: Police

WOODBRIDGE, VA — Four teen boys were arrested last week after they allegedly shot a 14-year-old girl with BB guns. According to Prince William County police, all four boys were taken into custody on charges of malicious wounding for their roles in the Oct. 13 incident.

According to a police report, the 14-year-old victim encountered the group of boys near the 1400 block of Bayside Avenue in Woodbridge; however, when she attempted to walk away from them, the boys began shooting her with BB guns.

The girl ran to a nearby home, police said, but one of the suspects — a 14-year-old boy from Woodbridge — attempted to physically stop her. She was able to get away, the report said, and was able to call police from the home.

Police said the girl sustained minor injuries to her upper body. Other suspects arrested last week include 13- and 16-year-old boys from Woodbridge, and a 15-year-old boy from Alexandria. All four were taken to the Prince William County Juvenile Detention Center, where they remain.
