BREAKING: One person killed after fight at Bradlee Shopping Center McDonald’s

Vernon Miles Today at 1:15pm

(Updated at 3:40 p.m.) Police said one teenager from Alexandria City High School was killed in a fight at the Bradlee Shopping Center McDonald’s (3646 King Street). ... According to scanner traffic, the incident started around 12:21 p.m. with a call about a fight happening at McDonald’s. Police said one person was hospitalized but died as a result of injuries from the brawl.

“We responded to a large group fight in the 3600 block and King Street,” said Alexandria police spokesman Captain Courtney Ballantine. “During the fight, an 18-year-old was critically injured and transported to the hospital where he was pronounced deceased. We confirmed it was a male and we confirmed that it was an ACHS student. We do not have any suspect information. It’s still ongoing.”

Anyone with information is asked to call Detective Escobar at 703-746-6819. Callers can remain anonymous.

The death marks the city’s second homicide of 2022. A teenager was also killed in an attempted carjacking in Potomac Yard earlier this month.

By my count that's three, but what do I know? In the recent one, the attempted carjacking, the would-be carjacker made the mistake of trying to steal a car from an armed driver.
