Fairfax County Police said detectives are currently investigating a robbery and shooting that took place on Kenerson Drive in Fairfax. Around 11:50 p.m. on July 11, a man and woman reportedly drove up to their home after spending the evening at a casino.
A suspect, described as a black female, approached the 66-year-old woman and grabbed her purse, the police report said. Then family members living in the house came out and chased the suspect towards a vehicle parked close by. The car was driven by a second suspect described as black male.
The woman whose purse was taken ran next to the vehicle. As the driver pulled away, one of the suspects fired a gun and struck the woman in the arm. She was eventually treated for non-life-threatening injuries at Inova Fairfax Hospital.
The two suspects fled the scene in their car.
