LAKE RIDGE, Va. — A woman suffering a severe gunshot wound to the face was flown to a hospital Thursday evening, sources told PotomacLocal.com.
The unidentified victim lives in the 12500 block of Kemptson Lane, off West Ridge Drive in Lake Ridge, where the gun went off, according to sources. It appears the gunshot wound was self inflicted.
The victim was taken to Westridge Elementary School about 7:30 p.m. and placed onto a helicopter which took her to an emergency trauma center.
The shooting comes the same day a Dale City man was charged after his four-year-old step son picked up a handgun and accidentally shot and killed himself last month.
