Mason Police District – Detectives are investigating a fatal shooting in Annandale that left one juvenile dead and another injured.

On June 28 at 11:18 p.m., officers responded to a shooting at 4100 Wadsworth Court in Annandale. Upon arrival, officers located two juvenile male victims. A 16-year-old male victim suffered a gunshot wound to the lower body and a 14-year-old male victim suffered a gunshot wound to the upper body. Officers rendered aid to both victims and transported them to the hospital. Despite life-saving efforts, the 14-year-old male victim succumbed to his injuries at the hospital. The 16-year-old male victim remains hospitalized with non-life-threatening injuries. The suspects fled the scene in a vehicle prior to officer arrival.
