The couple lived in Annandale, a community in Fairfax County, about 14 miles southwest of Washington, D.C. Their teenage son and daughter were not injured. Police had previously responded to a domestic-related call regarding Fairfax's claim that his wife had assaulted him, but this was determined not to occur. While in office, Fairfax faced sexual assault allegations from two women, but remained in office and was never criminally charged.
