Police said a road rage incident escalated, leading to one of the drivers pulling a gun and firing rounds into traffic. No one was injured, but traffic was detoured around the scene on the incident date so police could collect the shells that fell onto the pavement.

Fairfax County police tell us:


A groundbreaking ceremony signaled the start of work on a $54 million, seven-story parking garage near Sentara Northern Virginia Medical Center in Woodbridge.

The garage will sit in an area once earmarked for a Minor League Baseball stadium built eventually in Fredericksburg in 2019. The garage will serve as a transit hub in eastern Prince William County, replacing the nearby OmniRide transit center as a central bus transfer point.


Residents will have the chance to speak out about a plan to introduce red light and speed cameras to roads in Prince William County.
