It was around 7:48 p.m. yesterday when LPD responded to the 800 block of Edwards Ferry Rd. and found three men with gunshot wounds. All were transported to the hospital with injuries LPD described as non-life-threatening.
This afternoon, as police were investigating, a report came in that individuals involved in the shooting were back in the 800 block of Edwards Ferry Rd. LPD said officers responded and detained two individuals.
So far, Sylvanus Massaquoi, a 19-year-old Sterling resident, has been arrested and charged with aggravated malicious wounding. He is being held at the Loudoun County Adult Detention Center with no bond, LPD reported.
