           Virginia Police Officer Shot, Killed on First Day on Duty

   by VOA News

   A police officer in the eastern U.S. state of Virginia was shot and
   killed Saturday afternoon during her first full day in uniform.

   Officer Ashley Guindon and two other officers with the Prince William
   County police force were responding to a domestic disturbance call in a
   community located nearly 50 kilometers southwest of Washington when
   they were shot.  The trio were taken to a hospital where Guindon later
   died of her injuries.  No information has been released on the other
   two officers.

   Guindon, who had spent several years serving in the U.S. Marines, was
   just sworn in as a police officer Friday.  The department posted a
   picture of Guindon and another newly sworn-in officer with a message
   that ended with "Be safe!"

   One person has been taken into custody.  The chairman of Prince
   William's governing body told The Associated Press that another woman
   was killed in the dispute.
