The “Rookie” – also a Marine Reservist

Ashley Guindon had been a County officer previously, but after a sabbatical returned to law enforcement.

She served in the US Marine Corps Reserve, and had a degree in Aeronautics. She had relatives who were also in law enforcement.

As a Corporal in the Marine Crops, she had been stationed at Bolling Air Force Base and was involved with a unit assigned to sending home the remains of fallen Marines. It is unclear if she was currently in the reserves.

She held a pilot’s license for flying historical aircraft.

Fox News reported that more than 100 patrol cars lined the road as they escorted Guindon’s body to the Medical Examiner early Sunday morning.
