Legal Question in Landlord & Tenant Law in Virginia

There was a murder in the apartment across from mine and ever since then people have been banging on doors and throwing stuff at my window. I have my wife and 4 month old and i do not feel safe. Yesterday there was a fire due to power lines right next to my window. What rights do i have to break my lease with no penalty
