Police Standoff With Armed Woman Shuts Down Richmond Highway for Second Day
NBC Washington ^ | 3/28/23 | Jackie Bensen, Juliana Valencia, Drew Wilder

Police are in a tense standoff on Richmond Highway (Route 1) in the Hybla Valley area with an armed woman in an incident that may be connected to the case of two missing Maryland women.

For the safety of the public, part of Richmond Highway – the major artery through the area – has been shut down since late Tuesday morning.

**SNIP**

Authorities said they were asked by another law enforcement agency to perform a welfare check in an area just up the street at about 11 a.m. They said they were checking for a missing person in potential danger.

Outside a Quality Inn Motel, they encountered a distraught woman.

“When we responded there, there was a woman who said she had been abducted, and the suspect vehicle had just fled. So we began searching the area, and that’s when one of our officers found the vehicle, and it led to a pursuit and ended here,” Lt. James Curry said. “She did display a firearm to the officers during that first traffic stop, and that’s led to the response that you see here.”

**SNIP**

Onlookers told News4 they saw police bring the woman meals.

Police said they can't release many details because they're trying to get the woman safely out of the vehicle. Authorities also said they would be there as long as it takes to resolve the situation safely.

Earlier Tuesday, 25-year-old Lauren Kingsbury was found safe in Fairfax County after she’d been missing since Friday. The woman's uncle told News4 she did have a connection to Kingsbury, and police confirmed the investigation started with a missing woman report out of Maryland.

“This started as an investigation, a welfare check for a woman who was reported missing out of Maryland,” Curry said.

Sticky possible lesbian ping.

The police should bring her some exlax with her food and hopefully that will get her out of the car.

Ha!

My first thought as well. These are questions on everyone’s mind that, not all that long ago, were not.

How many think that LEO would wait this long and provide meals if it was an armed MALE in the vehicle?

If this was a conservative or Christian male the law would have brought in snipers immediately. The guy would have been killed within two hours.

Crack a window and put a snake into the car. She’ll be out in seconds.

Hope she’s able to pay every business along that road for the losses she has caused by being an idiot.

If she does emerge alive from the car, she will probably require a wheelchair for the first few hours. Her leg muscles would be all charley horsed and cinched up tight.

Are they waiting until they find the second missing person?
