There was a shooting a couple of blocks from me this morning - cops still searching for shooters

As always when I hear about a large congregation of cops in one spot, I think of what an excellent opportunity it would be to rob a 7-11 in the other end of the county. But I'm being good, staying inside with the doors locked.

Here's a new's report:

STERLING, Va. (WJLA) — A male teenager was shot in Loudoun County early Friday morning.

Police were called to the 400 block of E. Cornell Drive and N. Duke Drive in Sterling at 8:26 a.m. for a report of a shooting.

A Loudoun County official confirms a teenage male was found with gunshot wounds and transported to a local hospital.

According to witnesses, two to three suspects fled the area on foot.

The shooting did not occur at a school, but a police spokesperson confirms the following Sterling Park cluster schools are currently in "lock-out" mode while police investigate nearby:

Sterling Middle School
Sully Elementary
Forest Grove Elementary
Rolling Ridge Elementary

"Lock-out" means the exterior doors are locked, but activities inside the school continue as normal.

Park View High School is on lockdown mode.
