BREAKING
UPDATED: Boy, 15, arrested in shooting that wounded 9-year-old Woodbridge girl

Prince William County police.
Police have arrested a 15-year-old Triangle boy in connection with Tuesday's shooting that wounded a 9-year-old girl playing outside with friends.

News of the arrest came hours after police announced $10,000 in rewards from the department and ATF for information leading to the suspects.

Detectives identified one of the suspects and located him in the Woodbridge area earlier Thursday. He was arrested without incident, said Prince William County Police Master Officer Renee Car.

The 15-year-old is charged with aggravated malicious wounding, attempted malicious wounding, shooting at an occupied vehicle, use of a firearm in commission of felony, possession of firearm by a juvenile, Carr said. He was not identified because he is a juvenile.


The 9-year-old girl wounded in the shooting remains hospitalized in critical condition, Carr said.

The shooting happened just after 6:30 p.m. in the 15300 block of Gatehouse Terrace in the Rippon area, where officers found the victim and rendered first aid until medics arrived.


The girl was shot when four young men were walking on Gatehouse Terrace and one of them fired multiple shots towards a silver sedan that was driving by, Carr said.

The rounds struck the sedan and struck the unintended victim, who was playing with her friends on the opposite side of the street. The rounds also struck a vehicle traveling along the street and the front door of a home, Carr said.

The suspects were described as teenaged black males wearing dark clothing.

The boy's arrest is the second arrest in the past week involving a 15-year-old shooting suspect in Prince William County.


On May 19, detectives arrested a 15-year-old boy in connection with a May 15 double murder at a Woodbridge apartment complex.

~ The three worse times to go out & play, dusk, nightime, & dawn.

There's no black people in my neighborhood so People can leave their doors unlocked and kids play outside all day long and nobody is worried. Every house within a 3block radius know eachother and are usually watching out the window or outside working on the lawn or garden. I haven't locked my car or truck in my driveway in like 5 years, and my windows are usually always down and garage door open. The absolute best time to go out and play are dusk, night, and dawn. They play neighborhood hide&seek And group tag at night. It's awesome

After the night games all the kids get blankets and pillows and camp out on the front lawn to watch for shooting stars. The worst worry is the sprinklers coming on in the morning

the mom even in the grainy footage is pretty good looking. if the daughter is 9, then i'd put the mom's age at...they live in the ghetto...no more than 25 years old.
i've dated , hooked up with tons of ghetto chicks so i know the score. they start earrrrrly.
what a fucky story about the lil girl. may she recover quickly.

Hearing that child screaming, “I can’t feel my legs.” Multiple times is gut wrenching. She dropped like a rock when the shots went off and immediately was in massive shock with a spinal injury. Life changed drastically in a split second..

A 15 year old with a gun shooting at people. What in the world is wrong with some kids these days? Now a 9 year old is permanently fucked up because of his stupid actions.
