Fairfax County police are investigating a possible shooting at the Fairmont Gardens apartments in Annandale.
The woman arrived at a hospital with a gunshot wound early this afternoon, according to the Fairfax County Police Department, which describes her injuries as non-life-threatening.
Officers were dispatched to the 4200 block of Wadsworth Court around 12:51 p.m. after 911 received a call from someone who said they’d been shot, per scanner traffic on Open MHz.
“Someone’s saying they got shot in the hip,” the dispatcher told an officer who said he was at Wadsworth Court but hadn’t heard anything. “We’re just having a hard time understanding them. There’s a lot of screaming in the background.”
At 12:58 p.m., a police officer reported that they encountered two people at the scene. One person said they had been shot at but not hit, while another had a bloody hand after falling while running from gunshots.
The FCPD says it doesn’t have any description of a potential suspect right now. Police are advising community members to avoid the area, asking anyone with information to call 911.
UPDATE: The adult female’s injuries are non-life-threatening. Detectives continue to investigate.
