DALE CITY, Va. — Prince William police were called to a Dale City neighborhood for a third time this week to investigate shots fired into a house.
Police were called back to the Hillendale section of Dale City on Tuesday night for another report of shots fired at a house. Police linked this new report, at a home on Hoffman Drive, to a similar incident that occurred on the same street over the weekend.
Press release:
Shooting into a Residential Dwelling – On October 18 at 7:36PM, officers responded to a residence located in the 4100 block of Hoffman Dr in Woodbridge (22193) to investigate a shots fired call. Multiple callers reported to police that gunshots were fired into a residence by a passing vehicle described as a newer model 2-door coupe. A bullet was recovered from the home, as well as, a shell casing from the roadway. Although a neighboring residence was struck during this incident, it is believed that this occurrence is related to a similar shots fired call which was reported on October 15 . Detectives are continuing their investigation into both incidents which do not appear to be random.
On Saturday, October 15, two homes — one on Keytone Road and another on nearby Hoffman Drive — was shot at. The following day, a bullet hole was reported by police to have been found at a home on Kirkdale Road.
No injuries have been reported in any of the shots fired incidents.
