The boy, who is from Lorton, knew both Buckley and Scott and allegedly shot them after being confronted by them inside the house, police say. Police were called to the 2600 block of Black Fir Ct. around 5 a.m. Friday morning because of the shooting. source
Four other family members were in the house during the shooting but were not hurt, officials say.
Buckley was an attorney and author specializing in elder law and ran a geriatric care company. Neighbors say the family had just moved into this home a few months ago and they know at least one child lives in the home. Our investigation revealed the couple has at least three children.
Our thoughts and prayers go out to the family and friends at this difficult time.
