Drive-By Shooting Sunday in McLean Leaves Two Injured: Police

McLEAN, VA -- Two people were injured in a drive-by shooting early Sunday in McLean, according to Fairfax County Police.

Detectives from the county's Major Crimes Division are investigating the shooting that took place early Sunday sometime after 4 a.m. on Dolley Madison Boulevard near the intersection of Kirby Road in McLean (see map below).

Police say it looks like the incident stemmed from some kind of an altercation between several people at a party in Arlington County earlier in the night. One group left the party in a car and when they reached Dolley Madison Boulevard and Kirby Road, another vehicle pulled alongside and fired several shots, striking two occupants in the first vehicle, according to police.

The unidentified suspect vehicle fled the scene, police said. Little is known about the two victims who were shot, police said Sunday afternoon, other than they drove themselves to a local hospital with non-life-threatening injuries. Police didn't yet have descriptions Sunday of the suspects or vehicle.

Detectives from the county's Crime Scene Section, K9 teams and the police helicopter (Fairfax 1), responded to help police try to find the suspect and vehicle.

As detectives investigate the crime, they are asking anyone who might have information to call the Fairfax County Police Department at 703-691-2131. Callers may also contact Crime Solvers by calling 1-866-411-8477, via email at Fairfaxcountycrimesolvers.org, or text "Tip187" plus your message to CRIMES (274637).
