No one was injured and no arrests have been made after shots were fired in the 6200 block of Duke Street on Sunday morning.

Alexandria Police were dispatched at around 10:30 a.m. to the area near the Landmark Mall site after a driver called in the incident. The caller reportedly told police that the suspect was a male wearing all-black clothing and black sneakers with white soles.

Police brought a K-9 unit to the scene, but no arrest was made.

The incident occurred less than a mile from where a man was shot on April 15, and near to where a man was murdered in March.

Anyone with information on this incident can call the APD non-emergency number at 703-746-4444. Callers can remain anonymous.
