Police: Gunshots at Hunters Woods Prove False Alarm

Fairfax County Police Fairfax County Police were called to Hunters Woods Village Center about 7:25 p.m. on Sunday after a citizen reported gunshots being fired.

Units arrived at the scene via ground as well as the Fairfax County Police helicopter, a police spokesman said.

Police investigated the scene and determined that someone had fired a pellet gun, which has a loud sound similar to a real gun, they said.

There were no injuries, so police quickly concluded their investigation.
