Fox News
Fairfax County police say an officer was injured while responding to a "street takeover" where hundreds gathered to watch cars do donuts in a parking lot.
"I believe we narrowly escaped a line-of-duty death scenario of our own. Because one of our officers was surrounded by a bunch of masked, tough-guy-wannabe-thugs who surrounded her car, and acted in a criminal manner, in a way that I’ll tell you is never going to happen again in Fairfax County," Davis told reporters at a news conference.

The police chief said the "street takeover" in a parking lot in the 6600 block of Electronic Drive in Springfield endangered the lives of both the participants and bystanders. An officer on duty responded after she witnessed several vehicles pull into the lot and begin to drive recklessly.
