Prince William County Police Officer Ashley Guindon started out as an intern with the department and was sworn in the day before she was killed.

The man accused of murdering a Virginia police officer on her first shift is an active-duty Army staff sergeant assigned to the Pentagon.

Ashley Guindon, 29, was responding to a domestic violence call in Woodbridge, south of Washington D.C., when she was shot and killed. The condition of the other two officers is not known.

Guindon was sworn in Friday and was expected to begin her first shift during the weekend, police announced this week. She and two other officers were shot while responding to a domestic-related shooting that occurred in in Woodbridge, VA. The other two officers are being treated for their injuries at a local hospital, according to a statement from the department posted on Facebook. "Be safe!" the tweet read.

More than 100 patrol cars lined the roads outside a Northern Virginia hospital early this morning as a somber escort for the body.

Prince William County Commonwealth Attorney Paul Ebert told the Associated Press news agency that he had signed off on a capital murder charge against the suspect, along with counts involving the initial domestic argument.

Officials say Guindon died of the injuries she received in the shooting. County authorities were said to be preparing a capital murder charge and other charges against a suspect identified as a military serviceman, who is in custody.

Guindon had briefly been a county police officer a short time ago, but left for personal reasons during training Hudson said.
