A high school student in Alexandria, Virginia, has died after someone stabbed him during a fight involving 30 to 50 people at the Bradlee Shopping Center Tuesday afternoon, police say. ... Officers found the 18-year-old victim when they arrived to the McDonald's parking lot at the shopping center to break up the fight about 12:30 p.m., police said. ... Medics took the victim, a student at Alexandria City High School, to a hospital, where he died a short time later, police said.

Police tape blocked off the McDonald's parking lot, where shoes and other items littered the ground after the fight. ... Investigators are combing through surveillance video and interviewing witnesses to the fight, police said.

Alexandria City High School put its King Street and Minnie Howard campuses on a "secure the building" status due to the stabbing and school officials said they would stagger afternoon dismissal so that students would leave in smaller groups led by staff.

BREAKING: One person killed after fight at Bradlee Shopping Center McDonald’s

Vernon Miles Today at 1:15pm

(Updated at 3:40 p.m.) Police said one teenager from Alexandria City High School was killed in a fight at the Bradlee Shopping Center McDonald’s (3646 King Street). ... According to scanner traffic, the incident started around 12:21 p.m. with a call about a fight happening at McDonald’s. Police said one person was hospitalized but died as a result of injuries from the brawl.

“We responded to a large group fight in the 3600 block and King Street,” said Alexandria police spokesman Captain Courtney Ballantine. “During the fight, an 18-year-old was critically injured and transported to the hospital where he was pronounced deceased. We confirmed it was a male and we confirmed that it was an ACHS student. We do not have any suspect information. It’s still ongoing.”

Anyone with information is asked to call Detective Escobar at 703-746-6819. Callers can remain anonymous.

The death marks the city’s second homicide of 2022. A teenager was also killed in an attempted carjacking in Potomac Yard earlier this month.

By my count that's three, but what do I know? In the recent one, the attempted carjacking, the would-be carjacker made the mistake of trying to steal a car from an armed driver.
