Why do you need to carry more than one magazine full of bullets?

Victims beaten in gang attack

Two Dale City men were beaten with bottles in a McDonald's parking lot early Saturday morning by members of a local gang, the victims said.
Prince William County police are looking for suspects involved in the mob assault, which occurred about 2 a.m. Saturday in the 2800 block of Dale Boulevard.
No arrests have been made.
Lerone Tate, 21, and Meko Williams, 23, said they were on their way home from Oasis, a bar in Woodbridge, when they stopped at McDonald's for some food.
They saw a large group of people in the parking lot as Tate and Williams walked inside, they said.
"When we came to the door they were pointing and saying 'yeah, there they go right there,' " William said.
Tate said he and Williams, his sister's fiance, were surrounded by people who punched, pushed and beat them with bottles and a bat.
The assault lasted about 15 minutes, the men said.
They said the attack was unprovoked, but they recognized some of the people in the group as some who had an altercation with Williams' Younger cousin a few weeks ago.
Some of them could have been members of a local gang called 5-5, they said. Police could not confirm the suspects' involvement in a gang.
About 15 people followed his teenage cousin home after summer school a few weeks ago, Tate said.
"I guess they were not satisfied," he said.
The teenage cousin wasn't with them at McDonald's that night, but a different cousin was -- he ran inside to ask the employees at the restaurant to call 911.
"I was hit with bats, a bottle," Tate said. They just attacked me, some 20 or 30 people punched me in my right eye, they kept punching me and hitting me knocked me to the ground."
"We all was scared, but we had to fight for our life right there and nobody was going to help us," Williams said. "I had to pray my way through it, hoping I'd get to the car."
The police never showed and it was not clear if anyone inside the restaurant ever called 911.
A manager at McDonald's on Monday would not comment on the incident.
Luckily for Tate and Williams the crowd of attackers retreated and the bloodied men drove home.
Tate went to the emergency room where doctors stitched his right eyebrow and treated a gash under his right eye where a bottle sliced his face.
Someone bit Williams on his neck and he had cuts on his face and the back of his head from bottles, he said.
Officer D.J. Crawford took the report from Potomac Hospital.
The incident is still under investigation, according to Officer Erika Hernandez, police spokeswoman.
