A 28-year-old woman was reportedly shot in Woodbridge on Sunday night while with a male acquaintance near Potomac Mills Circle. Both later went to the hospital with non-life-threatening injuries, but police say their accounts of the incident were inconsistent and no evidence of a shooting was found at the scene. Investigators do not believe the incident was random.
