WASHINGTON — A 20-year-old man suffered a life-threatening wound when he was shot during an argument at a small party early Tuesday in Lorton, Virginia, police say.

Fairfax County police charged 48-year-old Michael Wassif of Lorton with one count of malicious wounding.

Police say they responded just before 3 a.m. to the 9200 block of Forest Greens Drive.

When they arrived, they found three women and the two men. They say the dispute was contained to the home.

Wassif is being held at the Fairfax County Adult Detention Center without bond.
