Prince William County police officer murdered
The sad news came out yesterday that Prince William County police officer and Marine Corps reservist Ashley M. Guindon was murdered Saturday night by an active duty non-commissioned officer who worked at the Pentagon. Guindon took her oath to become a police officer on Friday afternoon. Also injured in the confrontation were officers Jesse Hempen, 31, and David McKeown,33 with eight and ten years on the job respectively. The gunman also murdered hi wife in front of their 11-year-old son. The boy had escaped and ran to a neighbor’s house without any injuries.
From the Washington Post;
The incident began shortly before 5:40 p.m. Saturday, when the officers responded to a house in the 13000 block of Lashmere Court in Woodbridge. Prince William Police Chief Stephan M. Hudson said Hamilton and his wife had been involved in a day-long verbal altercation that escalated physically.
Hamilton allegedly opened fire as the officers made their way to front door.
Hudson said police were still investigating whether Hamilton shot from inside or outside the home and the position of the officers when they were struck by bullets. It’s also unclear how many shots were fired or whether officers fired.
Police said additional officers arrived on the scene and surrounded the house. Hamilton surrendered without further incident and Hudson said they found his wife’s body inside.
The gunman was employed at the Joint Staff Support Center at the Pentagon. The Commonwealth’s Attorney Paul Ebert says that he’ll be seeking the death penalty in this case. The gunman is facing charges of capital murder, first-degree murder and malicious wounding.

Domestics suck. Big time. There are few reliable facts as yet. One place misidentified the shooter b/c he, too, is in the military and shares the same name. Others then reported the error. Two women are dead and one of them was a rookie police officer. The shooter is in custody. End facts.
PTSD claim in 3…….2……..1…..
/this sucks all the way around. Why can’t crappy people like this just off themselves and leave everybody else alone.
^^^^^^^Exactly.^^^^^^^
Both sad and outrageous.
RIP
This motherfucker killed his child’s mother in cold blood while said child was in the house. The fallen police officer is a friend of my friend’s daughter. Just based on the photos, this piece of otter shit Hamilton was either high as a kite on something, or the cops weren’t super gentle with him at booking. In any case he deserves a curb stomping. Slow and painful.
I hope the Commonwealth of Virginia rehabilitates him by sticking a needle in his arm and permanently curing him of his murderous impulses.
Compared to other rehabilitative techniques, the death penalty has a 0% recidivism rate.
VA also has Sparky if requested by the convicted with the needle as the default option.
Without a doubt the worst nightmare of every FTO. The first month on patrol, a new trainee is like a baby learning to walk and the FTO is more of a protector and mentor. It breaks my heart for the officers involved. May the worthless piece of shit who did this burn in hell.
^^^ I second that. The first month is so damn dangerous. You’re busy teaching and trying not to get them killed in any number of ways. The first day though..
He needs to be executed slowly and painfully for killing those women in cold blood. Pity he didn’t off himself and save the taxpayers the ton of money that the trial and subsequent appeals will cost.
But… but… Black Lives Matter!?!?! NOT in this case!
The gunman should be put to death very, very slowly… no needle… should experience his last breathing moments on Earth in pain, a preview of his soul in the afterlife…
RIP Reserve Officer Ashley M. Guindon
I was waiting for someone to mention that.
A black shooter murders a white cop. Reaction? {crickets}
But, but… diversity is our strength!
They shouldn’t have taken him alive.
RIP, Officer Guindon.
Assuming he’s convicted, may VA execute the perp – for Guindon’s death and that of his spouse.
Sad.
So very sad, on so many levels.
To all the families, and to the grieving son, may you find peace with all this sooner rather than later.
Just horrid all around.
The mug shot of the killer shows some serious DILIGAF.
Rest Well…..
What a mess !!!
It’s Almost over !!!!!!
Of all the horseshit…
God bless the families for dealing with this huge crime against another officer just doing her job…
Godspeed to her and a strong salute to her at this horrible time…
This story makes me sick to my stomach!
Death penalty is the minimum!
Been just terrible if he’d died resisting arrest…
I’m sickened by this story. Served her country and on the first day serving her community. I feel for the families and the son.
Domestic violence calls are the worst…hope they fry, inject it gas the bastard. What a waste of two great women. RIP
