>>>Sterling Shooting, Stabbing Investigated

I got this from the LCSO and an online report:

The Loudoun County Sheriff's Office is investigating two attacks that occurred overnight in Sterling.

Shortly before 10 p.m. deputies were called to North Argonne Avenue where two victims suffering from gunshot wounds. An 18-year-old male and 17-year-old female were airlifted to Inova Fairfax Hospital. The preliminary investigation indicates the victims may have been targeted by their attacker.

(Helicopters landed at Rolling Ridge Elementary School and Sully Elementary according to reports).

Around midnight, deputies responded to North Amelia Street where a 25-year-old man was found stabbed in the street. He also was flown to Inova Fairfax Hospital for treatment. Investigators are working to determine where the assault occurred.

>>>No Overcrowding Fines Issued In Proactive Enforcement Operation

Despite six months of proactive enforcement and 935 field inspections on 204 properties along two roads in Sterling Park, the county's zoning enforcement staff discovered no residential overcrowding cases.

That information came forward from the enforcement program manager Keith Fairfax Tuesday during an information item on the program, which was created by the previous board of supervisors in November 2007.

>>>BLUNT REPORT FROM CITIZEN

QUOTING REPORT FROM CITIZEN "Regarding "County Staff Reports to Board", I beg to differ that everything is cleaned up on Williamsburg (Road). There are 2 homes needing work for over 2 years now.

401 Williamsburg has boarded up windows in front of the house. They have been boarded up for at least a year now. People live there and the windows are boarded up. (UNQUOTE).

My comment: I wonder what "pro-active" actually means anymore with zoning. The staff said they found "no violations". I will ask staff.


>>>"1,000 poll workers needed in Sterling" Reads the Headline

I got this from the Loudoun Times. This number "1000" is repeated in story as well. There is no way they need 1,000 poll workers. More like 100. But you already know they need you because I plugged it in my previous letter.
