Fall fun is in full swing across the region with family-friendly highlights like the Day of Play at FredNats Ballpark, the First Tee of Prince William County Benefit Golf Tournament, and the opening of Little Shop of Horrors at the Hylton Performing Arts Center.
The vigil began at 7:30 p.m. at the LOVE sign in downtown Manassas and lasted about 20 minutes. City resident Bill Billard, who initiated the gathering, stood before the crowd and urged people to pray and remember Kirk for bringing people together.
Billard said he was surprised by the turnout in Northern Virginia. “Charlie spoke the truth that made people mad, and he paid … the sacrifice of Christ for him,” he told attendees, drawing a parallel between Kirk’s death and the suffering of Jesus. He encouraged people to “carry on the fight” and not be afraid to speak out.

The folks at Prince William County Police just told Potomac Local News that a 35-year-old man—now identified as David Kapay Kallo of Fredericksburg—was found shot and killed around 7 p.m. near the 13700 block of Telegraph Road. A second man, 27, ran from the scene and was found at a nearby restaurant with non-life-threatening injuries.
Detectives say Kallo had been arguing with two unidentified men shortly before the gunfire erupted. Officers are now asking anyone who may have seen or heard anything to step forward.
FREDERICKSBURG, Va. – The folks at VDOT just sent Potomac Local News their weekly heads-up on where road crews will be working across our area—and if you’re driving in Fredericksburg, Stafford, or Spotsylvania this week, here’s what you need to know.
On I-95, expect overnight lane closures southbound between Courthouse Road (Exit 140) and Centreport Parkway (Exit 136), and northbound between Ladysmith (Exit 110) and Spotsylvania (Exit 126). Crews will be doing milling, paving, and rumble strip installation.
