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.

Another head scratcher for Boo Boo.
Maybe they just wanna win.
Idiots. They are supposed to play MIDNIGHT basketball.
I imagine the dissing was considerable.
If Dems somehow came to believe that young black males were Trump supporters then this problem would be resolved.
FRemeber Clinton’s midnight basketball to keep the kids from killing each other? What a joke.
Midnight Basketball, anyone?
Didn’t happen. Spazbooger banned all the guns.
First group was “Little Green Men” and the second group was “Grays”. Everybody knows they don’t like each other ...
You beat me to the punchline!
Bill Clinton told us that Midnight Basketball would solve this problem.
Somebody buy these idiots watches!
Did they use a popular centerfire rifle with telescoping stock, pistol grip, threaded barrel, or some other features?
Did they fire more than 15 rounds?
Oh wait, these things won’t be illegal until July.
If you bought them watches they would just trade them for crack cocaine rocks.

OBAMA MIDNIGHT BASKETBALL
If the court is occupied, what happened to calling winners?
Virginia will probably respond by trying to pass even more restrictive gun laws. These laws will do no good.
But it will make the liberals feel better. And that’s all that really matters.
I’m betting they needed Bill Clinton’s midnight basketball.
William Jefferson Clinton should have advocated for midnight golf, at most there would have been a hole in one.
