WASHINGTON – The Loudoun County Sheriff’s Office is beefing up police presence after a person shot at two siblings in the Broadlands area.
An 11-year-old boy was walking near Heritage Oak Court and Ridgeway Drive around 4 p.m. Thursday when he was struck by a BB gun pellet. The boy has minor injuries and did not require medical treatment. He told his family that he saw a black pickup truck nearby.
At 5:30 p.m., the boy’s sister was walking in the same area when she heard someone firing a gun. She told her family that a black pickup truck drove by and turned around. A person inside pointed a BB gun at her through a passenger window and fired, but missed her.
Loudoun County police issued a lookout for the truck and has increased patrols in that area.
