Three Virginia cops were shot, with one being killed on her very first day as a police officer
On Saturday night, officers from the Prince William County Police Department responded to a domestic shooting in Woodbridge, Virginia, 20 miles south of Washington, D.C. As the officers approached the house in which an Army sergeant had shot his wife to death, they were met by a hail of gunfire. Three of the officers were hit. One of them, Ashley Guindon, died just one day after she had been sworn in as a police officer.
After her graduation in June 2015 from a police basic training academy, Guindon attended Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University in Daytona Beach, Florida where she earned a bachelor’s degree in aeronautics. She than applied for a position with the Prince William County Police Department and was sworn in as an officer on Friday. Saturday was her first day as a police officer.
Pentagon Staff Sergeant Ronald Hamilton, the cop killer, was taken into custody. Why? Back in my day, the scumbag would have been riddled like a Swiss cheese. Now a cop killer is sweet-talked into surrendering and the taxpayers will be stuck with a huge bill for his incarceration and a prolonged court process.
Hamilton’s attorneys will get a psychiatrist to testify that the black Army sergeant suffered from diminished capacity because his mother looked backwards in the mirror while she was pregnant and his daddy took away the rubber ducky he played with in the bathtub, causing him to be traumatized when he saw white cops approaching his house.
Whether he is white, black or whatever, anyone who shoots three cops doesn’t deserve to be taken alive. The loved ones of a cop killed in the line of duty don’t deserve to suffer through a long trial and years of appeals after his murderer has been convicted. When caught, the scumbag should be Swiss-cheesed on the spot!

A Virginia police officer was killed in the line of duty on Saturday night, one day after being sworn in to the Prince William County Police Department.
Two other officers were also shot while responding to a domestic-related incident in Woodbridge, police told HuffPost. The unidentified officers were both being treated at Inova Fairfax Hospital, and were expected to survive, Prince William County Police Department spokesperson Nathan Probus told HuffPost.
The slain officer was identified as Ashley Guindon, who was on her very first shift, police said. “We ask for everyone’s thoughts and prayers as our department deals with this tragic loss,” the department said in statement.
On Friday, a picture posted to the department’s Twitter account welcomed her and another officer to the force. “Welcome Officers Steven Kendall & Ashley Guindon who were sworn in today & begin their shifts this weekend. Be Safe!”
Guindon and other officers responded to a call in the 13000 block of Lashmere Court in Woodbridge around 5:30 p.m. on Saturday. While the exact nature of the call was not made clear as of early Sunday, Probus said that it appeared to be domestic-related, and that an investigation was ongoing.
One person was taken into custody in connection with the shooting, Probus said, but provided no further information.
Woodbridge is about 25 miles southwest of Washington D.C.
Guindon and accompanying officers were shot while approaching a house on the block, Probus said. The officers were all transported to the hospital, and the department later announced that Guindon had died of her injuries. Police vehicles -- more than 100, according to the AP -- could be seen outside the hospital where the three officers had been taken.
Guindon had received a bachelor’s degree in aeronautics from ¬Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University in Daytona Beach, Fla., according to a statement the department released upon her graduation from police basic recruit school in June 2015. She also served in the U.S. Marine Corps Reserve and had relatives in law enforcement, the statement said.
