Prince William County police investigated two separate incidents involving gunfire into homes on New Year’s Eve and New Year’s Day—fortunately, no injuries were reported in either case.
In Woodbridge, around 5:16 a.m. on January 1, a bullet shattered a glass door at the Dale Forest Apartments on Wabash Place. Two shell casings were found nearby. The day before, near Manassas, a bullet entered a home on Lucasville Road around 3:26 p.m. No injuries were reported in either incident, and both cases are under investigation as reckless handling of a firearm.

A house fire displaced eight people Sunday evening in Woodbridge after an accidental stove activation sparked a blaze in the kitchen.
Fire crews were called to the 4200 block of Gustus Drive in Dale City about 6:30 p.m. and arrived to find an active fire in a single-family home’s kitchen. All five adults and three children inside had safely evacuated, thanks to working smoke detectors, according to a release from Prince William County Fire and Rescue.
Virginia State Police are investigating a fatal crash that occurred early Saturday morning on Interstate 95 in Prince William County.
The crash happened at 7:20 a.m. on December 27, 2025, in the southbound lanes near the 150-mile marker. According to police, a 2006 Ford F-250 pickup truck veered off the right side of the road and struck a guardrail. The impact caused the attached trailer to detach, and both the truck and trailer overturned.
