WOODBRIDGE, Va. – A northern Virginia man has been shot by police officers after they responded to a domestic-violence call.
Prince William County Police say the shooting occurred a little after 6 a.m. Thursday in Woodbridge.
Police received a call from a woman who said she’d been in an argument with her husband.
When officers arrived, the woman was outside the home and said her husband was armed with a knife and BB gun.

The officers shot at the suspect; he was struck in the upper body and taken to the hospital with serious injuries.
The suspect was identified as a 54-year-old white man. The races of the officers were not immediately released.
