A teenager was shot and killed in Herndon, Virginia, Wednesday afternoon that caused a nearby school to go on an alert, according to the Fairfax County Police Department.
A suspect was on the run Wednesday evening after shooting and killing a teenager near a hotel in Virginia, according to the Fairfax County Police Department. Deputy Chief Brooke Wright said that officers were very distressed to be at such a 'tragic scene.' 'We have a teenager who is dead and shouldn't be. And I can't imagine anything more devastating for that kid's family,' Wright said in a press conference. Around 4:30 p.m.
Out of an abundance of caution, a nearby elementary school was placed on secure building status as officers received information that the suspect may have fled toward the school. The secure status was lifted around 5:45 p.m as students were in the process of being reunited with their parents. Police described the suspect as a Hispanic male wearing all black clothing. 3 SHOT DEAD IN PENNSYLVANIA; SUSPECTED GUNMAN ARRESTED CLICK TO GET THE FOX NEWS APP 'We're doing everything we can to get the suspect in custody,' Lt.
