Police are investigating another shots fired call at 5700 Eliot Court — barely a block away from a shooting last week — even as the police department prepares for a presentation at Tuesday’s City Council meeting.
Police said on social media that the police responded to a shots fired call at Eliot Court in the West End at around 11 p.m. last night (Thursday). Senior Public Information Officer Amanda Paga told ALXnow that multiple shell casings were found at the scene but there was no property damage.
There is no info on how many shots were fired or suspects.
An update on the shots fired investigation is docketed for the city manager update at the Tuesday, Jan. 12, City Council meeting.
NOTIFICATION:: The Alexandria Police Department is investigating a “shots fired” call for service in the 5700 block of Eliot Court that occurred just after 11:00 pm. Multiple shell casings were recovered, but no injuries were reported. Expect police activity in the area.

Potomac Harmony is Back! Following a gap year of competing, then virtual rehearsals during the pandemic, followed by the well-earned retirement of our long-term director, a year of a director search, Potomac Harmony hit the regional contest stage in Concord, North Carolina in March for the first time since 2018! It was exhilarating, reaffirming, and rewarding!
The chorus hit all of its goals, the biggest of which was to have fun and sing our best on contest stage — we did both!
