When Assistant Chief Dawn Harman was growing up in Prince William County, she imagined a very different career path. Harman majored in veterinary science in college and was once with the Animal Control Unit of the Prince William County Police Department. Now Harman’s days are filled with duties that help keep the Prince William County Police Department a well-oiled machine.

From police:
Malicious Wounding – On November 21 at 12:30AM, officers responded to investigate a shooting which occurred in the area of Olde Port Ln and Graham Park Rd in Triangle (22172) earlier that evening. The investigation revealed that the victim, a 17-year-old male juvenile of Dumfries, was walking in the above area when he was struck in the leg by a bullet. The victim then called a family member who drove him to an area hospital for treatment and police were contacted. The victim was not cooperative with investigators. At this point, this incident does not appear to be random. The investigation continues.
