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.

“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.”

One would think they’d rush to get medical care.

When James Naismith was inventing the game he didn’t anticipate wild west shootouts.

Right. As an avid golfer, I can attest that midnight golf would more likely result in suicide. After playing 1000s of rounds of golf, there’s only a handful of players I would have liked to kill.
