Manassas home hit by gunfire, police investigating

Police are searching for two men in connection to this latest shooting.

MANASSAS, Va. — Prince William County Police say another home was hit by gunfire late Monday night. There have been several reports of shootings into homes in the county over the past several days. Police have not said whether the shootings are connected.

In this most recent case, officers were called to the 7600 block of Shelley Lane, off of Old Centreville Road, in Manassas for a report of a home hit by bullets. Two men were seen running away from the home and bullet fragments were found at the home. No injuries were reported.

Police are currently searching for two men. One is described as heavyset with dark hair and a beard. The man was shirtless and wearing light-colored pants. The other man had dark hair and was last seen wearing a light-colored shirt and light-colored shorts.

This comes after a Woodbridge family told WUSA9 that they were woken by gunfire twice on April 24 and April 25. Two houses were shot at.

"They just started shooting and we couldn't understand what was going on," said Kendra who lives in one of the homes.

She and her son Brenner showed WUSA9 some of the bullet holes. They say one of the bullets actually came into their home along Cobb Court in Woodbridge.

Doorbell video captured one of the shootings, on April 25.

In the video, you can see the driver of a dark-colored sedan slowly drive past the house, and then gunfire erupts.

"The second time they only shot at our house and that time all of us woke up," said Brenner.

Brenner said it appeared at least six bullets hit their home, and one made its way inside the house.

"In both of those shootings there was a dark-colored sedan seen leaving and that's part of the reason police are looking at those possibly being related," said Prince William County Master Police Officer Renee Carr.

She told WUSA9 shootings like this are deeply concerning.

"Anytime there's a shooting into a residence it's alarming," Carr said.

WUSA9 has been compiling data of "shots fired into residences" calls in Prince William County. In just the past two weeks, the department has responded to at least five calls like this.

Police couldn't confirm as of Monday afternoon if this is a trend, or if there's been a rise in these calls.
