A woman was injured and multiple homes and vehicles were struck by gunfire in a shooting in Prince William County Wednesday.

Just before 5 p.m., at least one shooter began firing from a black sedan that pulled into the cul de sac in the area of Wharf Lane and Olde Port Lane in Triangle, Prince William County police said. An officer nearby heard as many as 30 shots.

A 58-year-old woman inside a house was hit in the shoulder, police said. She was flown to a hospital with serious but non-life-threatening injuries.

Police believe the shooter or shooters targeted a house, but it's unclear why.

Police are looking for a dark-colored sedan, possibly a Hyundai, with Maryland license plates.
