Wadsworth Court is the new Culmore! Welcome to Annandale Folks!
Is the public in any danger? Was this an isolated incident?
this was a definitely targeted and possibly gang related
1. Being near Fairmont Gardens increases your risk given the number of crimes reported in or near the complex. Just look at the police reports. The complex has more troubles than it should, but there are much more risky areas. There are areas that regularly have more crime & violence incidents in or around Annandale.
2. When “suspects fled the area” that increases everyone’s risk, as the people committing the crime / violence have moved into different area and/or have the potential to return.
Hopefully the survivors and any witnesses cooperate with police, the police catch the suspects, and the Commonwealth Attorney actually prosecutes. I wouldn’t hold my breath for all of this to happen, especially the last part.
It’s probably a business related incident. I once unwittingly drove through the parking lot looking at apartments and noticed that the lot was full of hard looking young men who were conducting their business is broad daylight.
