Detectives from the Sully District Fairfax County Police station continue to investigate three incidents of homes being fired on in Clifton and Fairfax Station. They don’t know yet whether the events are related, but don’t believe the acts of violence to be random either.
A 55-year-old male victim reported his house on Henderson Court in Clifton was fired on twice: once on July 15 around 6 p.m. and again around 2 p.m. on July 19.
In the most recent incident, police said the man reported someone struck his garage with about six shots. They added that a white sedan was seen leaving the area around that time.
During both incidents in Clifton, the victim’s family was at home, however no one was injured.
The second location, and third firing incident, was at a home on Yates Ford Drive in Fairfax Station on July 16. Police said investigators determined shots were fired between 2 and 3 a.m. that morning. The side of the family’s house and garage were struck, with two windows being damaged.
The 56-year-old male victim and his family were also home at the time; again, no one was injured.
In this case, police said, a dark-colored sport utility vehicle was spotted leaving the area.
