LAKE RIDGE, Va. — One person was shot at a home near Lake Ridge on Saturday night and flown to an area hospital for treatment, police said. Sources said the victim is a male.
About 9 p.m., the victim was flown by helicopter from Merchant’s Plaza at the corner of Prince William Parkway and Old Bridge Road in Lake Ridge– the site of a Safeway grocery store and Capital One Bank.
As onlookers peered on, rescue crews pulled the victim from the back of an ambulance and placed him on another stretcher to be loaded onto a helicopter, which landed between the bank and a McDonalds restaurant.
Police also surrounded a nearby CVS Pharmacy parking lot, congregating around what appeared to be a collection of plastic bags lying on the sidewalk outside the store. Police confirmed the shooting did not take place at the pharmacy.
We’ll have more on this once it’s made available.
