2 separate shootings reported in Alexandria

So far no arrests have been made in either shooting.

ALEXANDRIA, Va. — Police are investigating two separate shootings reported in Alexandria Saturday night within 15 minutes of one another. 

The first shooting happened in the 3800 block of Florence Drive at 7:52 p.m. A 26-year-old man was seriously injured in the shooting. There is no word on his current condition at this time. 

No suspect information has been released. Police have not said anything about any possible motive or what may have happened in the moments leading up to the shooting.

Twelve minutes later, police were called to Route 1 in the 700 block of S. Patrick Street for another shooting. Officers learned that dozens of people riding dirt bikes, ATVs and motorcycles had gathered at two nearby gas stations before they began shooting at each other. A 30-year-old man was shot, and taken to the hospital for treatment in stable condition. No further details have been released. 

Police believe the two shootings could be connected to a gathering of motorcyclists and ATV that moved from D.C. into Northern Virginia.
