Police in Prince William County wounded two people Thursday during a gun battle that erupted during an undercover operation in Woodbridge, officials said.
Police released few details late Thursday, including the age, genders and conditions of the two people who were wounded during the shooting that happened in the area of Cloverdale Road and Fox Glove Court about 7 p.m.
The incident unfolded during “a multiagency undercover operation” that involved police from the county, Manassas City and Manassas Park, along with agents from the FBI and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, said Prince William County Deputy Chief Jarad Phelps, who briefed reporters near the scene.At least two county officers and two Manassas City officers fired their weapons during “an exchange of gunfire,” Phelps said.
Investigators gathered video from the area, and Phelps asked the public to contact police if anyone witnessed the incident or has video footage. “Anyone who captured any information, we’re looking to view that,” Phelps said. “Any information is welcome. We need to make sure we’re doing a very detailed investigation.”
The probe into the shooting will be handled by Arlington officials as a part of a regional agreement to independently investigate such incidents and present findings to the Commonwealth Attorney’s Office, Phelps said. Internal affairs investigations will be conducted by the county and Manassas City departments, he said.
