A 29-year-old man was sent to the hospital in serious condition after being shot multiple times in the West End on Saturday night, Alexandria Police reported.

The incident occurred at around 11:45 p.m. at the intersection of N. Beauregard Street and Sanger Avenue, which is near Holmes Run, apartment buildings and the William Ramsay Recreation Center.

No suspect information was released and Alexandria Police did not respond to questions on the incident. Anyone with information on the shooting is asked to call Detective Stephen Riley at 703-746-622, or APD’s non-emergency police line at 703-746-4444. Callers can remain anonymous.

This is the second shooting since a woman was shot just before midnight in the Landmark area on Monday, June 28. While the woman suffered non-life threatening injuries, Police did not answer any questions on that incident, although on July 2, acting Police Chief Don Hayes visited area homes to talk to residents.

Alexandria Police also responded to a crash in the West End on the early morning of Sunday, July 4. One person was seriously injured, and APD did not respond to any questions on the incident.
