No one was injured after shots were fired near the Braddock Road metro station on Monday night (October 26), according to the Alexandria Police Department.
The incident occurred at around 9 p.m. in the 700 block of North West Street. The area is near public housing, the Braddock Road Metro station and a number of local businesses.
A parked car was struck and no suspects were arrested, police spokesman Lt. Courtney Ballantine told ALXnow.
Earlier this month, police asked the public for help in identifying suspects after a surge in gun-related incidents. There have been a number of violent incidents in the city over the last several days, including a shootout that left a suspect dead and an officer injured on Monday. Two people were also shot last week and there were two robberies.
NOTIFICATION :: The Alexandria Police Department is investigating a “shots fired” call for service in the 700 block of North West Street. There are no injuries. Expect police activity in the area.
