Slain Virginia Police Officer To Be Buried In Western Mass.
SPRINGFIELD, Mass. (AP) — A Virginia police officer who was shot and killed on her first day on the job is being honored in the western Massachusetts communities where she was born and grew up.
A wake for Officer Ashley Guindon is scheduled for Sunday at the Agawam Funeral Home.
A funeral Mass is scheduled for Monday at Sacred Heart Catholic Church, in Springfield, followed by burial at St. Thomas the Apostle cemetery, in West Springfield.
Guindon, a former Marine Corps reservist, was born in Springfield and lived in Agawam before her family moved to New Hampshire.
Guindon was killed Feb. 27 while responding to a domestic argument at a home in Woodbridge, Virginia.
She had been sworn in as a Prince William County police officer the previous day. She was 28.
