Two people are dead after an early morning shooting near an office complex in Sterling, Virginia, deputies said.
According to the Loudoun County Sheriff’s Office, a 911 call was made at around 4:30 a.m. Wednesday for an argument inside an apartment complex on Huntington Square.
When deputies arrived, they heard shots being fired. Deputies then found two people with gunshot wounds along a wooden fence of an adjacent office park on Ridgetop Circle.
Both people — identified as a man and a woman in their 20s — were taken to the hospital where they later died.
The preliminary investigation shows that after the argument happened inside the complex, the two victims walked around the fence to where the shooting took place.
Deputies are still looking for suspects. Authorities believe that it was a targeted incident.
Anyone with information is asked to contact the Loudoun County Sheriff’s Office.
Below is where the shooting took place.
