We’re learning more about a shooting that took place last night in Dale City.
A homeowner grabbed his gun when he heard a would-be home invade trying to open a window at his home on Glendale Road. The man went outside to find the trespasser on his porch, fired shots, which struck the victim.
On July 6 at 9:55PM, officers responded to a residence located in the 4300 block of Glendale Rd. in Woodbridge (22193) to investigate a shooting. Upon arrival, officers located a 43-year-old man suffering from a gunshot wound. Officers provided immediate first aid until rescue personnel arrived.
The investigation revealed that the homeowner heard a loud noise at the front door of the home and then heard someone trying to open a living room window.
At that point, the homeowner went outside where they encountered an unknown man on the porch. During the encounter, shots were fired by the homeowner and the man was struck. The homeowner immediately contacted emergency services. The unknown man was flown to an area hospital for treatment and is expected to survive. The investigation continues.
So far this year, 11 people have been shot in Prince William County. Last year, a total of 10 people were shot between January and June 2020.
