Shots fired at Coast Guard recruiting station in Woodbridge

Police are investigating a report of shots fired into a Coast Guard recruiting station in Woodbridge, the fifth overnight shooting at a Northern Virginia military facility since Oct. 17.

The shots were discovered Tuesday morning, said 1st Sgt. Kim Chinn, a Prince William County police spokeswoman. No one was injured, she said.

The recruiting station is near the Potomac Mills mall.

Police and the FBI are probing four other similar shootings — two at the National Museum of the Marine Corps, one at the Pentagon and one at a Chantilly Marine Corps recruiting station. The same weapon was used in at least three of those shootings, and FBI officials said they believe the gunman is someone who has a grievance against the Marines, but who is not trying to hurt anyone.
