Prince William police were called to two separate incidents of malicious wounding on April 14. Here’s the unedited reports of what occurred:
Aggravated Malicious Wounding – On April 14th at 1:58AM, officers responded to a residence located in the 7800 block of Blue Gray Cir in Manassas (20109) to investigate a domestic related shooting. The victim, a 38 year old man of Manassas, reported to police that he and the accused, a known acquaintance, were involved in verbal altercation which escalated physically. During the encounter, the accused pulled out a handgun and shot a round into a nearby wall. At that point the victim lunged at the accused and was shot in the abdomen. The accused was still on scene when officers arrived and was taken into custody without further incident. The victim was flown to an area hospital with serious, but non-life threatening injuries. This altercation appeared to have stemmed from an earlier domestic incident between the victim and a 45 year old woman who is related to the accused. That incident is still under investigation.

The Prince William County Board of County Supervisors will address the county’s meals tax during the upcoming budget deliberations, according to Chair At-Large Deshundra Jefferson. The meals tax, enacted in 2022, has been a concern for local restaurant owners, some of whom are advocating for its repeal.
The proposed meal tax (also called the food and beverage tax) for Prince William County in FY2025 is projected to generate $42 million in revenue. This represents a $10 million increase from the previous year, reflecting a significant rise of 31.25%.
The tax has drawn strong reactions from the restaurant industry, where owners have repeatedly called for its abolition, arguing that it places additional strain on their already tight margins. Restaurant owners have pointed to the increased costs they’ve faced over the past few years, compounded by inflation and staffing shortages, making the meals tax particularly burdensome.
