Va. girls, 10 and 11, charged with alleged threats against schoolmate

WASHINGTON —Two girls, who are 10 and 11, have been charged as juveniles in connection with threats made against another girl, Prince William County police said.

Police in the Northern Virginia county said the two girls communicated by text to conspire to kill the victim, who is 11-years-old.

The 10-year-old and 11-year-old used cryptic language and encouraged each other to delete the text messages after the threats were read.

On April 25, police responded to the girls’ school after a concerned parent alerted school staff.

In a statement, police said after extensive consultation with the Commonwealth Attorney, the girls were charged with conspiracy to commit a felony.

The threats were not carried out and no one was harmed, police said.

Details of the alleged threats were not disclosed nor was the name of the school the girls attended.

After nearly 50 years, Dale City Music is closing

After nearly five decades serving musicians, students and families from the same Dale Boulevard location, Dale City Music is preparing to close its doors, ending a 48-year run as a locally owned music store and community resource, according to multiple sources. The store, at 4367 Dale Blvd., is slated to close July 31. An employee, Adren Harris, told InsideNoVa the owners decided to shut down amid rising commercial rents and concerns about taking on unsustainable debt. “Our last day of normal business will be this Friday,” Harris said. Harris said the store’s owners determined closing was preferable to continuing under increasingly difficult financial conditions.
