Officer Killed: Funeral Arrangements for Ashley Guindon

WOODBRIDGE, VA — Funeral services have been scheduled for Tuesday to honor the officer killed while responding to a domestic dispute in the Woodbridge area over the weekend.

Officer Ashley Guindon will be honored at the Hylton Memorial Chapel, 14640 Potomac Mills Road. The large venue seats 3,500.

A viewing will begin at 10 a.m. Tuesday and services will begin at noon.

The public is welcomed to attend, according to Sgt. Jonathan Perok, a Prince William County Police spokesperson. Priority will be given to fellow law enforcement and government officials.

The service may be streamed online, according to Perok.

Guindon was one of three officers responding Saturday afternoon to the home of Ronald Hamilton, 32, a staff sergeant with the U.S. Army.

He allegedly shot each of the officers — the other two are still in critical condition. After Hamilton’s arrest, police found his wife’s body in the house. Crystal Hamilton, 29, also died from a gunshot wound.

Guindon had been sworn in to serve with Prince William County just a day before the shooting.

According to her online profile, Guindon graduated Merrimack High School in 2005.

She graduated with a bachelor’s degree in aeronautics from Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University in Daytona Beach and also received a master’s degree in forensics. She served in the U.S. Marine Corps Reserve and came from a family of law enforcement.

She had been assigned to work patrol in eastern Prince William County. Guindon had a history with the department, serving as a forensics intern in 2011 while pursuing her master’s degree.
