HERNDON, Va. — A man was shot multiple times at a shopping mall in Virginia Sunday night.
Herndon Police were called to the parking lot of Worldgate Shopping Centre around 7:40 p.m. Sunday night for a victim with multiple gunshot wounds to the upper body and lower extremities. Officers gave the man aid until he could be transported to a nearby hospital. He underwent surgery and is now in stable condition.
An officer on patrol in the area had heard the gunshots and, as he got closer, he saw a vehicle speed out of the shopping center. He followed the speeding vehicle on Dulles Toll Road but lost sight of it at some point.
Police do not have a description of the suspect and have not provided a description of the vehicle the officer pursued. They have not said whether the suspect and victim knew each other. A press release Monday morning stated that police would not be releasing any suspect or vehicle information while the investigation is ongoing.
The shopping mall is located just minutes away from Dulles International Airport, and neighbors an airport hotel, the Washington Dulles Marriott Suites.
This investigation is ongoing. WUSA9 will continue to update this story as more information enters our newsroom.
