FAIRFAX, VA – Police are searching for a suspect who shot at another vehicle while driving in the Fairfax region along I-495 last week.

The other vehicle pulled in behind the Honda, at which time the adult male driver of the Honda stepped out of his vehicle and fired several rounds at the other vehicle.
