• Two Dead After Pursuit, Shooting And Crash In Fredericksburg (myhyperbole.com) — Fredericksburg police say a domestic-related pursuit and shooting ended Wednesday night with both parents dead and their two young daughters injured in a crash near Emancipation Highway. Investigators report the mother was shot multiple times before crashing, and the father later died from a self-inflicted gunshot after a police pursuit; the children suffered minor injuries.
• Knight's Final Call: Virginia Honors Fallen K9 Killed In Shootout That Wounded Officers (dailyvoice.com) — Fredericksburg Police are among many Virginia agencies honoring Knight, a Chesterfield County K9 killed while responding to a domestic shooting that also wounded two officers. The 5-year-old German Shepherd/Malinois mix is being remembered for his courage, tracking work, and close bond with his handler, Cpl. John Walsh. Tributes, memorial art, and flowers at police headquarters reflect how deeply Knight’s loss is felt across the Commonwealth.
