The City of Fredericksburg Police Department is investigating a report of teenagers that allegedly shot BB or pellet guns Tuesday towards an area where parents were waiting to pick up children at Fredericksburg Christian School.

Police responded to the school, at 221 Jefferson Daivs Hwy., at 3 p.m. Tuesday.

"A witness described seeing a black male and black female, both heavyset, in the wooded area near a playground," a press release from the department said. "The male was reportedly wearing a blue and white plaid shirt and carrying what appeared to be a handgun."
