DUMFRIES, Va. - Five people were shot and a teenager was killed when gunfire broke out Monday at a basketball court in Prince William County, according to police.
The shooting happened around 5:30 p.m. in the 1800 block of Potomac Shores Parkway. Investigators say several people were playing basketball when another group arrived, a confrontation followed, and shots were exchanged.
Officers found one victim at the scene. A second person with gunshot wounds was located at a nearby home on Spring Cress Drive, and three others later showed up at hospitals nearby.
Police say the victims are males between 16 and 20 years old. An 18‑year‑old man from Dumfries died at the hospital. The four surviving victims, a 20‑year‑old man from Woodbridge, a 16‑year‑old boy from Dumfries, and two 17‑year‑old boys from Woodbridge, are expected to recover.

What’s that saying…
You can take the thug out of the ghetto, but you can’t take the ghetto out of the thug.
I’m beginning to wonder if there’s something wrong with the brains of black people...but that would make me a racist, so
I’ll move on to another subject.
Ban basketball. (start with the WNBA)
Shootings happened 1/4 mile east at the Potomac Shores Fitness Barn.
Let me guess: Reported as “random” and “isolated” as all such events are when a favored media group is involved.
There was a lot of disrepekt’in going on
“Gunfire erupts”
Yeah, we all know about spontaneous gunfire… How I just magically “erupts”… it’s not like the “teens” had anything to do with it.
Yes, boo-boo… It’s them again. It pretty much always is.
Not probably. Virginia House Approves Gun Control Bills Over GOP Objections
You show up at a hospital with a gunshot wound and they call the cops. Cops will start asking questions about how the shooting happened and will look into open warrants. The shooting "victim" has to make a hard decision whether to seek treatment.

“Well....It’s Dumfries.....goes without saying.”
It’s been a very long time since I’ve been down that way. Is it really that bad of an area?
“Five people and a teenager.”
Urinalists be smarts.
I was kind of thinking that it would be a good use of the Clinton Global Initiative money.

Without reading the article I am guessing its those B-Ball playing Amish again.
$5 says it’s THEM again.
Someone must have told Quintaciousjavan to “Shoot!”
“…gunfire erupts…”
…as though it was some sort of natural phenomenon, like a thunderstorm or volcano. Sorry, its cause was man-made and effected by humans.
