Police exchanged gunfire with suspects during a narcotics investigation in the 14700 block of Fox Glove Court, just off Cloverdale Road in Dale City, at 7 p.m. Thursday, Sept. 1, 2022. Police were investigating a suspected narcotics operation in the area.
Four police officers, members of a multi-agency narcotics task force, discharged their weapons; two are detectives with the Prince William County Police Department, and two are detectives with the Manassas police department.
No members of the task force were struck or injured during the exchange.
