Shooting Investigation [Previously Released] – On October 17 at 2:05AM, officers responded to the Glen Ridge Commons Apartments located in the 12800 block of Island House Lp. in Woodbridge (22192) to investigate a shots fired called. As officers were responding, they learned of a victim, later identified as a 23-year-old woman, being treated at an area hospital who was reportedly struck during the encounter. The victim’s injuries were non-life-threatening. When officers arrived in the area of the shooting, they located an unoccupied apartment with evidence of gunshots being fired both inside and outside of an apartment. No other injuries or property damage were reported. During the investigation, evidence of narcotics was located, and a search warrant was subsequently executed on the apartment. Suspected cocaine and marijuana were recovered along with ammunition. At this point, this incident does not appear to be random. The investigation continues.
