Woodbridge, Va. –– One man was shot in the chest during a home invasion in Woodbridge early Saturday.
Police were called at 2:26 a.m. to the 14200 block of Mount Pleasant Drive after two men broke into the home, went to the victim’s bedroom, kicked in the door and shot a man in the chest, police said.
The victim was flown to a hospital with injuries that did not appear to be life-threatening, said Prince William police spokesman Jonathan Perok.
Police say they don’t consider the home invasion a random act, and that their investigation continues.
No one else was injured in the shooting.
Police are also investigating a rape that happened at 3:53 p.m. Saturday, in the 2700 block of Landings Loop in Woodbridge.
Police said a 17-year-old female was raped by an acquaintance who was later arrested, said Perok.
Clarence Rodney Cox, 34, of 12401 Banner Way in Chester, Va. is charged with rape. He was held without bond.
On Friday, police were called to two stabbing incidents –– one at Potomac Mills mall and the other in Dumfries.
Police at 2:26 p.m. Friday were called to the area of Main Street (U.S. 1) and Quantico Gateway Drive after a 26-year-old man was stabbed in the upper body by an acquaintance, said Perok.
The victim was taken to a local hospital with injuries that did not appear to be life threatening.
And a mob scene developed at Potomac Mills mall on Friday when a 17-year-old boy was walking through the parking lot when he was approached by several people. An altercation ensued and the boy was stabbed in his abdomen, said Perok.
