Three Prince William County Police officers were shot Saturday as they responded to the scene of a domestic-related shooting, police said.
The officers are being treated for their injuries, police tweeted. Their conditions are not yet known.
In a brief statement, Prince William County police asked for patience as they investigated.
Police said the shooter was in custody.
The shooting happened in the 13000 block of Lashmere Court in Lake Ridge, Virginia. Several roads are blocked in the area of Quate Lane at Delaney Road during the investigation.
It appears Officer Guindon was sworn in yesterday?
Heart Breaking.
"Welcome Officers Steven Kendall & Ashley Guindon who were sworn in today & begin their shifts this weekend.Be safe!"
2:40 PM - 26 Feb 2016
Officer Ashley Guindon was shot and killed while responding to a domestic disturbance in the 13000 block of Lashmere Court in the Lake Ridge area.
The male subject at the home murdered his wife and then ambushed the officers with a rifle as they approached the scene. Officer Guindon was fatally wounded and two other officers, including her training officer, were wounded.
The man who shot them was arrested at the scene.
Officer Guindon had been sworn in the previous day and was working her first day on the street with her training officer.

On her first patrol, no less! God grant you and your family peace, Ashley.

Just wow, that’s tragic. Prayers up for the others and for her family.
So very sad.
Sounds like the opening to “DREDD” where he briefs trainee judge Anderson before her first street patrol:
“...You may be engaged in armed combat. Twenty percent do not survive their first day. ...”
FWIW, I live on the other side of I-95 about 1 1/2 -2 miles from where this shooting took place.
FWIW2: Virginia does execute its murderers. (But only after the usual decade and a half of judicial appeals nonsense.)
Beyond tragic. Incredibly sad.
These police killing thugs are out of control.
“We have plenty of crime in Virginia without DC help. Prince William County has serious gang problems, including MS-13.”
Do you think the shooter was a gang member or MS-13?

Authorities say the suspect accused of killing a police officer and another woman is a military serviceman.
Prince William County Commonwealth Attorney Paul Ebert says he has authorized a capital murder charge, along with other counts, against the suspect, who has not been identified.
Police say Police Officer Ashley Guindon, who was sworn in Friday and started her first shift Saturday, died from her injuries after responding to a verbal argument Saturday. The condition of the two other officers shot is not known.
Virginia law allows for the death penalty for the murder of a police officer.
Ebert said the suspect will make his first court appearance on Monday.
Corey Stewart, chairman of the Prince William County Board of Supervisors, said in a phone interview with The Associated Press on Saturday night that a woman was killed in the dispute but police declined to confirm a woman died in the domestic violence call. Corey also said there was a child in the house who was not injured.
Just...Dang it! Prayers. So sad...
The DOJ social justice platform will allow more of these savages to be released on the American public
It happened in Woodbridge, mostly to the east of I 95 and notoriously full of illegals, 20 to a house.
Ooops,I saw it on the news this AM as being in Woodbridge...I could be wrong...
No. I was just pointing out that gangs are a problem in that county.
You have probably already heard that the suspect turned out to be a career military man working at the Pentagon.
