News: Loudoun County Sheriff's Update on Deadly Confrontation in Sterling that Led to 16-Year-Old's Death

The Loudoun County Sheriff's Office continues to investigate a shooting that occurred during the early morning hours of March 17th. Loudoun County Sheriff's Deputies had been dispatched to the home in the 45900 block of Pullman Court for a report of a burglary with shots fired by the homeowner.

At this point in the investigation, it appears Caleb A. Gordley, 16, of Sterling, Virginia, mistakenly entered a neighbor's residence on Pullman Court through a rear, unlocked window. There is no evidence to indicate Caleb entered the home with any further criminal intent. The 16-year-old Park View High School student lived on the same street as the home. Based on interviews, it was learned Caleb had been drinking alcohol with friends that evening.

And if that wasn't enough, the Loudoun County Sheriff's Office reported another Sterling homeowner confronting an intruder just two nights after the case that left Caleb Gordley, 16, dead after he entered his neighbor's home, possibly by mistake, while returning late at night from a party.

In the case early Tuesday morning, the suspect left the home after being discovered by the homeowner.

Hopefully the next 10 days in Loudoun are calmer but here is what happened since March 9:

(March 18, 2013) - The Loudoun County Sheriff's Office has identified a Park View High School junior who was fatally shot inside a Sterling, Virginia home as Caleb A. Gordley, a 3-sport varsity athlete at the school. The home where Gordley lost his life was located just two doors down from where he lived.

Gordley played shortstop in the Patriots baseball team according to his BeRecruited.com profile and he played on the Patriots boys varsity basketball team over the winter. The 6-foot Gordley also played on the Patriots varsity football team where he was listed as a wide receiver/corner back

Loudoun County Sheriff's Deputies initially responded to the home in the 45900 block of Pullman Court for a report of a burglary with shots fired by the homeowner. The shooting took place shortly after 2:30 a.m.Sunday when a resident reported that their house alarm was activated. As the homeowner went to investigate, he discovered an unknown male inside their home on the stairwell. The teenager lost his life at the scene.

Shawn Gordley, Caleb's father, said on Twitter Monday evening that: "I was just informed that Caleb & his friend hopped the fence into the wrong backyard. They both thought it was my house. Caleb then climbed through an UNLOKCED window and staggered up the staircase that is identical to mine."

The Washington Post and other  media outlets are reporting that alcohol was a factor in Gordley entering the wrong house.

Gordley loved music and was a promising rapper. His basketball coaches, Mike Koscinski and Jermaine Walker released this statement on the young man Monday evening:

"We are very saddened to lose our friend, teammate, and student-athlete Caleb Gordley. Caleb played three years in the basketball program in addition to playing baseball and football at Park View High School. Everyone loved being around Caleb & felt better when around him. He was the source of positivity, energy and hype for our team. Whether we won or lost, Caleb always gave his best effort and was the teammate everyone loved being around. Caleb's love for music and rapping was a gift that he shared quite often with his family and friends. His music came from his heart and was his passion. That passion carried over to all of his sports as he could be counted on to play with heart, emotion and hustle at all times. Caleb played in eight games this season and suffered a season ending knee injury as he was making a full court play to block a shot. Caleb was adjusting to his role as a contributor off the bench and at the time of the injury was playing his best basketball. Caleb kept the team laughing regardless of the situation and everything was more fun with Caleb around. He will be deeply missed."
