A 16-year-old male was shot in Woodbridge during what police believe was a botched robbery attempt involving vape cartridges.
According to Prince William County Police, the teenager met with three unknown individuals at 14200 block of Lindendale Rd. to conduct a sale when the suspects demanded the items.
