Stray bullet strikes woman at child’s soccer game

A Gainesville woman suffered non life-threatening injuries after being shot at her child’s soccer game Sunday evening, police said.

Police responded to George Hellwig Memorial park, 14418 Bristow Road, at 5:11 p.m. Sunday to investigate a shooting, Prince William police spokesman Jonathan Perok said.

A 43-year-old Gainesville woman told police she was sitting in a chair watching her child’s game when “she felt a sharp pain to her right thigh,” Perok said in a news release.

The woman thought she had been struck by a BB or other projectile and went to an area hospital for treatment, police said.

At the hospital, doctors determined that the woman had actually been struck with a small-caliber bullet, possibly a .22 round, Perok said.

No one at the game reported hearing a gunshot or seeing a weapon, police said.

On July 4, a 7-year-old boy was killed when a stray bullet struck him in the head as he watched fireworks with his dad in Chesterfield County outside Richmond. Police still have not determined where that bullet came from.

This park is surrounded by woods. A .22 can carry 1.5 miles. Could have come from almost anywhere. Probably someone target shooting and it passed through the woods without hitting a tree - just unlucky.

I'm not saying they'll get a team 50 people to work this but they should be able to figure out where she was sitting, the angle the bullet hit, and more or less work their way back to points of origination. If the only thing for 2 miles in that direction is Billy Bob's farm.. then I'm guessing he'll get a visit from the local police to ask about his weapons, question him on if he shoots on his property for target practice, etc.
