More than 100 patrol cars line the roads outside Inova Fairfax Hospital early Sunday morning, Feb. 29, 2016, to stand vigil and provide escort to the medical examiner for the body of slain Prince William County police officer Ashley Guindon, who was shot and killed Saturday responding to a domestic violence call. Two other officers were also shot and taken to the hospital. Guindon had been sworn in as an officer on Friday
Ashley Guindon had been on the beat with the Prince William County Police department for all of one day before she was shot and killed while responding to a domestic violence call in Woodbridge Saturday night.
Guindon, 29, hailed from a family of police officers, and was a Marine Corps veteran. According to The Washington Post, she had been assigned to a unit at Joint Base Anacostia-Bolling that helped deliver the remains of fallen Marines, and had achieved the rank of corporal. She graduated with a degree in aeronautics from Embry Riddle Aeronautical University in Daytona Beach, Florida, and an internet search also shows a Master’s degree in forensic science from George Washington University.
According to reports, Guindon was sworn in as a county officer only the day before her death.
