Police: Drive-by not drug-related

VIENNA — There is no indication a drive-by shooting this week on 19th Street was drug-related, Vienna Police Chief George Young said Thursday.

Just before midnight Wednesday, multiple shots were fired into a residence at 601 19th St. No one was injured, and Young said the situation appeared to be an isolated incident targeting that particular residence.

On Thursday, he issued a statement saying the shooting remained under investigation and, contrary to concerns raised by residents, the incident does not appear related to drugs.

Young said evidence is being submitted to the West Virginia State Police Lab for analysis. Anyone with information about the crime is asked to contact Vienna Police at 304-295-8563.
