The scenic Nathaniel Ellicott footbridge over the Occoquan River got a bit of a facelift this week. The bridge links the town in Prince Willaim County to the Vulcan rock quarry in Fairfax County. A spillway makes for a serene waterfall near the bridge. Before Hurricane Agnes in 1972, the bridge carried traffic on Route 123 over the river. The storm washed away the bridge, and a new one was built.

Updated — Prince William police sent us this update on Thursday, November 3, 2022.

Shooting Investigation – On November 2 at 1:25PM, officers responded to Quantico Mobile Home Park located in the 17900 block of Old Triangle Rd. in Triangle (22172) to investigate a shooting. Upon arriving in the area, officers located the victim, a 17-year-old male juvenile suffering from a single gunshot wound. Rescue personnel responded and the victim was flown to an area hospital where his injuries were determined to be non-life threatening. The initial investigation revealed the victim and an acquaintance, a 16-year-old male juvenile, were walking in the above area, when a black sedan with tinted windows slowed down and the occupants made verbal contact with the juveniles. The juveniles then walked out of the roadway while the sedan turned around and began driving back towards them. When the sedan neared the juveniles, the driver pulled up before an occupant exited the vehicle and fired multiple rounds, striking the victim. The shooting suspect then got back into the vehicle and fled the area. While checking the area, officers located two mobile homes that were struck. No additional injuries or property damage were reported. Officers determined the vehicle was occupied by multiple black males, possibly teenagers and wearing all black clothing. At this time the incident does not appear to be random.
