PRINCE WILLIAM COUNTY, Va. - One of two Prince William County officers who was injured in a shooting that claimed the life of a rookie officer is now recovering at home, the department says. Officer Jesse Hempen was released from the hospital last week.

Hempen, 31, is an eight-year veteran of the department. He and Officer David McKeown, a 10-year veteran, were both hurt on February 27 when Ronald Hamilton opened fire on rookie Officer Ashley Guindon, who was killed.
