Mason District Police District – Detectives from our Major Crime Bureau continue to investigate yesterday’s non-fatal shooting of a 14-year-old teenager. 

At 5:22 p.m., officers responded to Bellview Drive and Glen Carlyn Drive in the Culmore area of Falls Church for a juvenile who was shot. Preliminarily, detectives believe that two suspects are known to the victim. The victim was shot multiple times. Officers rendered aid until fire and rescue personnel arrived. The victim was taken to a local hospital and remains hospitalized.
