MERRIFIELD, Va. (AP) -
ARTICLE SNIPPET: "On May 10, a 16-year-old lost four fingers when he was attacked in the Alexandria section of Fairfax. Three gang members pleaded guilty to malicious wounding and violating Virginia's anti-gang statutes. Investigators believe that incident stemmed from a dispute between the MS-13 and South Side Locos gangs.
Gangs are a growing problem in northern Virginia, which already has a joint federal, state and local task force working on it. The FBI estimates there are up to 2,000 MS-13 members in the area."
