Two Shot in McLean Drive-By

McLean Police District – Detectives from the Major Crimes Division are investigating a shooting that occurred on Dolley Madison Boulevard near the intersection of Kirby Road on Sunday, August 14 sometime after 4 a.m.  Preliminary information suggests that this incident stemmed from an altercation between several people at a party somewhere in Arlington County earlier in the night.

The unidentified suspect vehicle then fled the scene. Little is known about the two victims at this point, other than they drove themselves to a local hospital with non-life-threatening injuries. There is no suspect or vehicle description at this time.
