The incident took place around 3 p.m. in the 4000 block of Majestic Lane, as reported by the Fairfax County Police Department (FCPD). This area is close to the Greenbriar Town Center, a well-liked shopping spot in Chantilly that houses numerous stores.

Two officers, who have not yet been publicly identified, were taken to the hospital with injuries that were not life-threatening, according to FCPD.
