LAKE RIDGE — A man holding a knife was shot by police officers who were called to a report of a husband and wife arguing with each other.
A Prince William police press release states:
On August 15 at 6:12 a.m., officers responded to a residence located in the 4300 block of Flodden Ct in Lake Ridge to investigate a domestic abuse call with weapons involved.
The caller reported to police that she and her husband were involved in an argument and that he was armed with a screwdriver. Two officers initially arrived at the home and encountered the caller on the front lawn.
The caller further advised officers that her husband was armed with knife and a BB gun. While speaking to the caller, the husband approached the front door.
Officers issued commands to him before he exited the home and advanced toward the officers with the knife. The two officers on scene shot towards the suspect with their Department-issued firearms.
The suspect was struck in the upper body and subsequently detained in front of the residence. Officers rendered aid to the suspect until Fire & Rescue personnel arrived at the home.
No officers were injured during the incident. The suspect was transported to an area hospital with serious injuries. The suspect has been identified as a 54-year-old man of Woodbridge. The involved officers will be placed on routine paid leave.
The Prince William County Police Department is the lead agency handling this incident. A criminal investigation and separate administrative investigation are currently underway. More details are still being gathered in this incident and will be released when available. The investigation continues.
Earlier this year, Ronald Hamilton was sentenced to seven life sentences for the shooting deaths of his wife, Crystal, and Prince William police officer Ashley Guindon, who was working her first day on the job in 2016. The soldier was spared the death penalty in a Prince William County courtroom earlier this year.
