SIGN UP The shooting may have followed an argument. Alexandria’s police chief said the dispute started at a bar in Woodbridge and ended in the gunfire at the apartment complex. He said the victims who turned up at a hospital along with a third, uninjured person will likely face malicious wounding charges.
One of the injured men is being charged with malicious wounding, use of a firearm in the commission of a felony and felon in possession of a firearm, APD said.
The man is still hospitalized and is in APD custody, police said.
