Two suspects face an assault by mob charges after an incident in Towne Center at Aquia last week.

On February 27 at 2:48 a.m. Deputy C.S. Harding responded to Stafford Hospital Center for an assault report. The victim had injuries to his eye and nose and received treatment from hospital staff.


On Saturday, March 5 at 11:20 p.m., police went to a home located in the 14400 block of Lamar Road in Woodbridge to investigate a shots fired call.

A resident said they saw a green laser light shining into the living room before hearing a loud noise followed by the sound of glass shattering. A bullet shattered the home’s glass front door, said police.
