Prince William County police announced an additional arrest in a June homicide near Manassas, charging a 16-year-old with second-degree murder and a related firearm offense. In Woodbridge, officers arrested a 32-year-old woman after she allegedly brandished a firearm and fired a shot that struck a vehicle during an early-morning altercation. A separate shots-fired call later the same day left a vehicle damaged but no injuries. Stafford County deputies reported a DUI arrest involving narcotics, a shoplifting case and several fraud complaints from Sept. 14.
The murder investigation continues and does not appear to be random. The Woodbridge firearm cases remain under investigation where suspects are not yet identified.
Three dogs at local shelters are waiting for a home this Take Me Home Tuesday.

Canadian high pressure is in control today. That means a cool and dry start to the work week for the Baltimore-Washington region.
Early morning temperatures are in the upper 40s to 50s, with a few spots in the mid-40s near the Alleghenies. Patchy fog is possible in river valleys and low spots before sunrise, but it should burn off quickly.
