Officers from the Fairfax County Police Department worked all night to investigate the tragic double shooting in Centerville.
According to PFC Ingrid Palencia, first responders were summoned around 5:30 p.m. on Wednesday, Sept. 9, after a family member reported a shooting in their house on the 6300 block of Sharps Drive.
When they arrived, they discovered the man and woman had been fatally shot. Detectives also discovered a handgun at the home.
According to Palencia, the family member who contacted 911 resided in the home, as did the children who were present at the time.
