PERFECT BASEBALL WEATHER FOR
HOPING DAY.
>>> WE LOVE YOU!
>> NEW THIS MORNING, THIS WAS
THE SCENE AS POLICE ENDED A
BARRICADE SITUATION WITH ONE
WOMAN IN CUSTODY IN FAIR TAX
COUNTY.
>> THIS STANDOFF LASTED MORE
THAN 36 HOURS.
JULIANA VALENCIA HAS BEEN
COVERING THIS CASE SINCE THE
BEGINNING AND JOINS US LIVE FROM
THAT SCENE. GOOD MORNING.
>> Reporter: GOOD MORNING. YEAH, RIGHT MIND ME HERE IS
WHERE THAT WOMAN’S JEEP WAS.
CARS ARE DRIVING ALONG RICHMOND
HIGHWAY.
AFTER 36 HOURS, SHE GOT OUT OF HER CAR AND WALKED OVER TO
POLICE AND SURRENDERED.
>> WE LOVE YOU!
>> Reporter: YOU CAN HEAR THE
CHEERS FROM PEOPLE AS SHE CAME
OUT.
OUR CREWS WERE THERE AS SHE GOT
OUT OF THE CAR AND SURRENDERED
TO OFFICERS JUST AFTER MIDNIGHT.
CRISIS NEGOTIATORS AND S.W.A.T. OFFICERS TOOK THE WOMAN INTO
CUSTODY AND SHE LEFT IN AN
AMBULANCE.
POLICE SAY SHE HAD BEEN ARMED
WITH A HANDGUN AND THE WOMAN HAD
BARRICADED HERSELF IN A JEEP
ALONG RICHMOND HIGHWAY STARTING
AROUND 11:00 ON TUESDAY MORNING.
AND BEFORE SHE SURRENDERED, WE
SPOKE WITH THE FAIRFAX COUNTY BOARD OF SUPERVISORS.
HE WORKED THROUGH TO INCLUDE
LEGISLATION TO ADD CRISIS
NEGOTIATORS.
>> THE STRENGTH OF HAVING THAT PERSON’S KNOWLEDGE AND EXPERTISE
WILL HELP BRING DOWN,
DE-ESCALATE, AND MAKE THE
SITUATION BETTER BECAUSE THEY
KNOW WHAT THESE INDIVIDUALS ARE
GOING THROUGH AND THEY KNOW HOW
TO COMMUNICATE TO THEM AND THEY
KNOW HOW TO HELP THEM MAKE THE
RIGHT DECISIONS.
>> Reporter: NOW THAT THE
HIGHWAY IS REOPENED, POLICE CONFIRM THIS WAS ALREADY RELATED
TO THE MISSING PERSONS CASE
INVOLVING 25-YEAR-OLD LAUREN
KINGSBURY FROM LAUREL, MARYLAND.
POLICE FOUND KINGSBURY SAFE ON
TUESDAY BEFORE THE SANDOFF
BEGAN.
THE UNCLE OF THE WOMAN
BARRICADED IN THE VEHICLE DID
CONFIRM THAT SHE WAS POSTING ON
SOCIAL MEDIA FROM INSIDE THE SUV
AND HE AND OTHER FAMILY MEMBERS,
THEY WERE RECORDING AUDIO MESSAGES, SENDING THEM TO HER TO
HELP ENCOURAGE HER TO GET OUT OF
THE VEHICLE.
LATER TODAY, WE DO EXPECT TO
RECEIVE MORE INFORMATION FROM
