An officer involved shooting at Westminster at Lake Ridge on Saturday morning left a 26-year-old Stafford man dead and his 91-year-old grandmother injured
A police-involved shooting at Westminster at Lake Ridge has left one man dead and his 91-year-old grandmother with gunshot and stab wounds
when he made statements indicating he wanted to kill himself
He was armed with a knife and was attempting to hurt himself
which prompted a person in the grandmother’s apartment to call police at about 10 a.m
according to Prince William County Police Chief Peter Newsham
prompting them to shoot him with their department-issued handguns
which he disregarded,” according to Officer Wade Dickinson
Then man then “went after” his grandmother with the knife
suffered both stabbing and gunshot wounds and is in “serious but stable condition,” Newsham said
but preliminary indications are that she is going to be OK
and I certainly hope that’s the case,” Newsham said
He was also not identified pending the notification of family members
The grandmother was flown to an area hospital via medical helicopter
was also in the apartment with the grandmother and grandson but was not injured
The incident rattled Westminster at Lake Ridge
nonprofit retirement facility near the banks of the Occoquan Reservoir in eastern Prince William County
The community is home to more than 300 residents
said the police officers’ quick actions kept the incident contained to just one apartment
Wooten also said the residents and staff were being “well cared for” by the community’s chaplain and other staff in the wake of the shooting
The two officers involved in the shooting included one “veteran” officer and another who had been in the department about 18 months
The police department was not able to deploy one of its co-responder teams to the scene because it unfolded so quickly
Co-responder teams include police and mental health professionals trained to de-escalate crisis situations arising from a person in mental distress
Newsham noted that a “majority” of officers have received critical response training and “routinely” de-escalate crisis situations when possible
Both officers will be placed on routine administrative leave as the incident is investigated by a regional “critical incident response team” made up of officers of several nearby agencies
Their findings will be presented to Commonwealth’s Attorney Amy Ashworth for her review

One person was killed and another sent to the hospital after police shot a man armed with a knife Saturday morning at the Westminster at Lake Ridge senior living home in Woodbridge
Prince William County Police Chief Peter Newsham detailed during a news conference that officers were called to a privately-owned apartment at the senior living community just before 10 a.m
for a man in distress who was armed with a knife and wanted to harm himself
two responding officers were confronted by the man
who proceeded to lunge at officers with a knife after disregarding orders to cease
Officers discharged their firearms during the initial confrontation
officers fired again after Cassell began stabbing a 91-year-old woman who lived inside the apartment
Preliminary findings later revealed she was Cassell’s grandmother
The man was pronounced dead at the scene after life-saving measures were administered by officers
who sustained stab wounds and a gunshot wound
She remains in stable but serious condition
A second woman was found inside the apartment but she didn’t sustain any injuries
The responding officers weren’t injured
“This is tragic,” Newsham told reporters during a press briefing
for the mother of this 26-year-old who lost his life
And then we also have two officers involved and the last thing in the world that these officers wanted to do when they came to work today was be in this type of an incident.”
Newsham said it remains unclear how many bullets were fired during the confrontation
and that an investigation would be overseen by the regional Critical Incident Response Team
A full report would be released to the public in the future
The police chief said that no calls had been made to the Prince William Police Department about the pair prior to the Saturday shooting
Both officers — one described as a veteran and the other with 18 months on the job — will be placed on routine administrative leave for the duration of the investigation

2025 at 12:22 pm ET.css-79elbk{position:relative;}The Lake Ridge Parks and Recreation Association paid $695,000 for a Paycheck Protection Program loan prosecutors say it was not eligible for
VA — There have been numerous cases in the U.S
of homeowners associations that received Paycheck Protection Program loans and later were forced to make repayments because of ineligibility
One of these was Lake Ridge Parks and Recreation Association
a homeowners association based in Lake Ridge
federal prosecutors announced a settlement by the Lake Ridge Parks and Recreation Association
The homeowners association is paying $695,000 for False Claims Act allegations that it received a PPP loan that it was ineligible for
Prosecutors say the Lake Ridge organization is was not eligible due to its 501(c)(4) social welfare organization status
When the association applied for the PPP loan
prosecutors say it certified that it was eligible for a loan under the program's rules
The PPP was a loan program for eligible small businesses during the COVID-19 pandemic
Applicants had to provide income and supporting documents to qualify for the loan amount and for the later loan forgiveness
A whistleblower provision of the False Claims Act allowed private individuals to file on behalf of the U.S
on false claims and keep a share of the money recovery
In the Lake Ridge Parks and Recreation Association case, the whistleblower will receive a 10 percent share of the settlement. Wade Riner, a real estate investment leader who first filed the claim, has been part of other PPP fraud cases

Lake Ridge Parks and Recreation Association
paid $695,000 to settle a lawsuit charging it wrongly received federal grant money under the paycheck protection program
paid $695,000 to settle a lawsuit charging it wrongly received federal grant money under the paycheck protection program -- money the government paid to businesses and nonprofits across the country to keep people employed during the pandemic
has about 8,000 resident members of Lake Ridge
It serves as the Lake Ridge homeowners association and
runs the five private pools and other recreation amenities in the 50-year-old eastern Prince William County community
It’s not clear how much the Lake Ridge association received in Paycheck Protection Act funding
The court documents were still sealed as of Tuesday
The loans were offered to eligible small businesses for economic relief during the COVID-19 pandemic and were meant to allow businesses to retain their employees
The United States alleged that Lake Ridge Parks and Recreation Association should not have received the funding because it is a 501(c)(4) tax exempt entity
and such organizations were not eligible at the time the application was submitted
Attorney’s Office for the Eastern District of Virginia
The settlement began with a lawsuit -- United States ex rel
Wade Riner v Lake Ridge Parks and Recreation Association
-- that was filed under the whistleblower provision of the False Claims Act
The provision allows private individuals to file suit on behalf of the United States for false claims and share in a portion of the government’s recovery
The whistleblower will receive a 10% share of the settlement
The resolution was the result of a coordinated effort between the U.S
Attorney's Office for the Eastern District of Virginia and the Small Business Administration
The settlement does not mean a judge decided that LRPRA committed wrongdoing by applying for the loans
the settlement brought the lawsuit to a close
The man who was fatally shot by Prince William County police Saturday during an incident at Westminster at Lake Ridge retirement community has been identified as a 26-year-old Stafford man
at her apartment at Westminster on Saturday
April 26 when he became distressed and suicidal and wounded himself with a knife
Another adult visiting the apartment called police
Cassell allegedly "lunged" at the officers with his knife and then stabbed his grandmother
The two responding police officers fired their weapons multiple times in an effort to get Cassell to stop
The grandmother was also struck by gunfire
Cassell died from his wounds in the apartment
was flown to an area hospital for treatment of both gunshot and stab wounds
Newsham said she was in serious but stable condition
was also in the apartment but was not injured
The community is home to more than 300 residents
The two officers involved in the shooting included one veteran officer and another who had been in the department about 18 months
Both officers have been placed on routine administrative leave as the incident is investigated by a regional “critical incident response team” made up of officers of several nearby agencies
The Reno City Council voted 4-3 Wednesday to uphold the planning commission’s approval of a 273-unit apartment complex at the former Lakeridge Tennis Club site
The site is sandwiched between Lakeside Drive
Area residents have been fighting the apartment complex
Many spoke during public comments and 70 letters were submitted opposing the project over traffic
neighborhood compatibility and fire concerns
Mayor Hillary Schieve and council member Meghan Ebert also voted against it
Duerr said she was worried about fire evacuation safety and an increase in traffic accidents
“I want to be clear about something: (this) does not mean I am opposed to something being built here,” Duerr said
“They’ve done good on parking … but bottom line
Schieve said more needs to be done about traffic and fire evacuation safety before a project goes in at this location
Devon Reese and Miguel Martinez voted for the project
Taylor said the apartment complex meets requirements and that the developer showed good faith by improving the exterior as the residents asked
She added that it was less dense than the original 314-unit project that was approved when the land was rezoned
Lakeridge neighbor Steve Topol said he understands the need for housing
but that he constantly sees lines of traffic and serious accidents in this area
But what I don’t want to do is have to see this,” Topol said
showing the council a photo of a car accident on the corner of McCarran Boulevard and Plumas Street
was the only one advocating for the project
telling the council that Reno is in a housing shortage
and they need to make room for renters too
“I think that the solution to traffic problems is ultimately going to be getting people out of cars
People need to go somewhere,” Johnson said

(News 4 & Fox 11) — The owners of Reno's Lakeridge Golf Course are applying to the city of Reno to build a boutique hotel
restaurant and spa on the site of the course's old driving range just south of McCarran Blvd
The major redevelopment project requires approval from the city because the Duncan family is requesting to rezone the 12-acre plot from parks
greenways and open space to a "specific plan district."
Though the exact plan hasn't been finalized yet
including tennis and pickle ball courts and putting greens
“We know how much this course means to Reno and I want to assure the community that the golf course will not undergo significant changes,” said TJ Duncan
“Our focus will be on repurposing the driving range into more useful amenities.”
The project will not affect the 18-hole golf course
which will remain open to the public during construction
Developers didn't give a timeline for construction
“This is a new chapter for Lakeridge Golf Course and we’re excited to deliver new and needed amenities to our members
It comes after the Reno City Council last week greenlit a 273-unit housing complex at the intersection of Plumas St
roughly a quarter mile from the Lakeridge golf course project
The approval was over the objections of residents, who were worried about traffic and public safety
citing the F-rating of that intersection and concerns about evacuation in the event of a fire
On the Lakeridge golf course project website
developers said traffic impacts from the proposed hotel project will be 'minimal,' saying there will be a less than 2 second increase in travel times
Documents submitted to the city of Reno say a traffic study found that when the project is complete
including over 100 during the morning peak hours and over 150 during the evening peak hours
"The proposed development concept includes a new “right-in-right-out” ingress/egress via South McCarran Boulevard coupled with a recommended deceleration lane
thus reducing the impact of development on the (level of service) for the South McCarran Blvd/Plumas Street intersection and the number of vehicles entering the site from Plumas Street," the application states

TJ Duncan surveyed the lush greenery at the 19th hole of Lakeridge Golf Course on a cloudy spring afternoon
the overcast skies above unable to wipe the smile off his face
Duncan is president of Duncan Golf Management, the family business that owns the south Reno golf course and several others. He hopes an ambitious redevelopment plan ushers in an entirely new game — and future — for Lakeridge Golf Course
“We have been debating different ideas over the last couple of years since shutting down the driving range about the best uses of the land that we have in the middle of town,” Duncan said
“We’ve thrown around a lot of ideas over the years and we think that we’ve found something that … brings a lot of things to the community
brings a lot of amenities that the community needs
and helps us expand our business and protect the future of Duncan Golf management.”
Duncan Golf Management plans to submit its proposal to the city of Reno on April 28
the project will transform the open space on the north side of Lakeridge Golf Course into a resort-style hub for guests
The golf course will continue to operate as usual
Plans provided to the Reno Gazette Journal show various amenities proposed on the former driving range:
Duncan noted that the plans are conceptual and not finalized
He also does not have a dollar amount for the project at this time
Proposed golf course project will be the latest within the south Reno corridorFirst opened in 1969
Lakeridge Golf Course has been a longtime fixture in its south Reno neighborhood
Although its longevity gives Lakeridge Golf Course a strong local pedigree
golf industry — which saw more than 2,000 courses close since the Great Recession — and it’s clear that staying put has not worked out for many
For operators such as Duncan Golf Management
Although the industry started to stabilize in 2024
Lakeridge Golf Course likely still needs to embrace change to ensure it does not end up a statistic
various projects have popped up around Lakeridge Golf Course that have received strong pushback from the community
A previously proposed senior housing project by Reno Land at the site also faced stiff opposition and ended up going nowhere
Overlooking the Lakeridge Golf Course’s closed driving range is another controversial project
this time by housing developer Toll Brothers
The project also received its fair share of criticism
including from people worried about development at the site eating up one of the key open spaces in the neighborhood
Duncan stressed that the Lakeridge Golf Course proposal is its own thing and not tied to any of the surrounding projects
Duncan is especially worried about people confusing the project at the former Lakeridge Tennis Club site with theirs due to similar names
that (apartment project) is completely separate from us,” Duncan said
“We’ve never had an interest in the Lakeridge Tennis Club.”
As for the driving range, Duncan Golf Management was previously involved in a request to change the city’s master plan and rezone it from open space into single-family. In April 2021, the request was rejected by the planning commission
citing the same open space concerns voiced by residents
“If this were not open space but a vacant lot
I think it would be a perfect spot for infill,” said John Marshall
“We do need to be zealous guardians of our open space … notwithstanding the needs for additional housing.”
Duncan Golf Management is requesting a zoning change from open space to a specific plan district or SPD
An SPD is essentially a designation that allows for diverse land uses provided they are compatible and complementary to other uses of existing land and properties nearby
In the case of the Lakeridge Golf Course project
some of the changes Duncan Golf Management is requesting involve removing certain limits to land use
hours of operation and proximity to residences
Doing so allows the project to better attract not just locals but visitors from outside the area
The idea is to provide services and new things at Lakeridge Golf Club that will allow it to “touch as many customers as possible,” Duncan said
Duncan is also looking into adding tennis courts and pickleball courts
we feel that adding more and more amenities for our customers is a good thing that can benefit not only us but the community as a whole,” Duncan said
Growth is something that Duncan Golf Management will need to address as it seeks approval for its project
Congestion was a top issue for residents opposing the apartment project on the Lakeridge Tennis Club site
The issue will almost certainly comes up in response to Lakeridge Golf Club’s development plans
Duncan pointed to a traffic impact study by Headway Transportation that found the planned improvements will cause an average delay of less than two seconds at the intersection of South McCarran Boulevard and Plumas Street
The SPD handbook for the project also stated that it believes congestion on the South McCarran corridor will be addressed by a future regional improvement project
Duncan expects there will be pushback against the proposal
Duncan says he understands how people can have concerns over new developments
“There’s always controversy (over new projects) and change is always hard
especially in a community as old as this and in an area as old as Lakeridge Golf Course,” Duncan said
“But we’re excited about the future and bringing forth new things for the community.”
The Watt Buddhacheya Mongkol Buddhist Temple off Old Bridge Road in Lake Ridge
A leader of a Buddhist temple in Lake Ridge said Friday their community is still trying to make sense of why a monk who lived at their temple set himself on fire Thursday afternoon
president of the Watt Buddhacheya Mongkol Buddhist Temple
The temple is located along Old Bridge Road near Rockwood Lane in Lake Ridge
Another monk who was at the temple at the time saw Nguonthe on fire out the window
The monk called 911 and police arrived minutes later
where police found him suffering from severe burns
Nguonthe was pronounced dead at the scene at around 12:30 p.m
a Prince William County Police Department spokesman
Nguonthe was originally from Cambodia and served as a monk at the temple for more than three years
He also provided translation services for members of the temple
The temple draws about 50 people for its services each week
Oung said he had no idea what motivated Nguonthe’s actions
The police investigation has so far found no signs of foul play
usually for political or religious reasons -- has a long history in Buddhism but is seen as an extreme act
The official cause of Nguonthe’s death will be determined by an autopsy by the state medical examiner’s office
Oung said that temple members are planning a funeral service for Nguonthe next week

The Eastlake High School boys basketball season is still over

Eastlake's apparent 71-35 loss to Mansfield Lake Ridge in the Class 6A Division I area round of the 2025 Texas UIL basketball championship playoffs on Friday
was changed to a victory by forfeit late Tuesday
when Lake Ridge turned itself in for using an ineligible player against Eastlake
came too late for Eastlake to take Lake Ridge's spot in the playoffs
Lake Ridge's regional semifinal was set for Tuesday night in Arlington against Flower Mound Marcus and was set to tip about four hours before Lake Ridge announced its forfeit
Eastlake found out about the forfeit around 3:30 p.m
Tuesday and reserved a bus in hopes of arranging a neutral site game against Marcus
The deadline for certifying regional semifinal winners was Tuesday night
the regional semifinal had to be played on Tuesday or earlier
"There is no way for us to get up and play the next game," Socorro ISD athletic director Steve Nunn said
we were not able to play in that next game
"El Paso being a little removed from the rest of the state made it difficult for us to get arrangements made
Nunn said if Eastlake had been notified Monday about Lake Ridge's forfeit
every effort would have been made to schedule a Tuesday playoff game
"The more time we would have been given from the other team would have been better," Nunn said
"I don't want to speak for the UIL on what would have had to happen to make that date happen
It was the second-place team in District 1-6A

kill man accused of stabbing 91-year-old grandmother at senior living home
(7News) — A 26-year-old man is dead and an elderly woman is in the hospital after a shooting involving police at a senior living home in Lake Ridge
according to the Prince William County Police Department
police identified the man killed as Joseph Anthony Cassell and said the investigation into the encounter between the officers and Cassell remains active
Officers responded to the Westminster at Lake Ridge Senior Living Home on Clipper Drive around 9:58 a.m
Cassell went towards the police with the knife and refused to listen to the officer's demands
which forced the officers to respond with fire
Cassell proceeded to attack the 91-year-old woman
who police confirmed to 7News was his grandmother
This led officers to discharge their weapons again
"I met with his mom," Chief Peter Newsham told 7News' Lianna Golden
they’re devastated at the loss of their son."
The grandmother was taken to the hospital with both stab wounds and a gunshot
Chief Newsham said they're working to determine a motive
"That’s something that we will try to get to the bottom of through our investigation," Newsham said
"All of the signs are indicative of somebody who is in crisis
Police said there was also one additional adult woman inside the residence during the shooting
The Prince William County Police Department has requested the regional Critical Incident Response Team (CIRT) to oversee the investigation

2025 at 9:49 am ET.css-79elbk{position:relative;}An August 2024 officer-involved shooting in Lake Ridge has led to no charges against the SWAT team officer after consultation with the Prince William County Commonwealth's Attorney
VA — A criminal investigation into a fatal officer-involved shooting of a man during a barricade in Lake Ridge has not resulted in charges for officers
After an investigation by the Critical Incident Response Team made up of regional law enforcement, Prince William County Commonwealth's Amy Ashworth decided not to pursue charges for the Aug. 1, 2024 officer-involved shooting
Prince William County Police's Office of Professional Standards will do an internal administrative review
The incident will go to the Prince William County Police Department’s Use of Deadly Force Review Board for a final review if the shooting was justified and following police department policies
The fatal officer-involved shooting happened at a home in the 3000 block of Bromley Court in Lake Ridge
an out-of-state person reported concerns for their relative's suicidal statements
The relative believed the man may be armed
After responding to the man's home on Caledonia Circle
he was found in the backyard of an acquaintance's home on Bromley Court
Police say he was in an agitated state and had a gun
The police department brought in a SWAT team and Small Unmanned Aircraft Systems and contained the incident to the backyard of the home
and members of a crisis negotiation unit and a community services clinician attempted for the man to safely surrender
Messages relayed from loved ones to the man were unsuccessful in ending the barricade
Police obtained an emergency custody order
police say the man pointed the gun in the direction of officers and nearby occupied townhouses
That led a SWAT team member to shoot the man in the upper body
He was pronounced dead at the scene and was identified as Gabriel Rene Ramirez
Only one officer discharged a weapon and fired one round in the officer-involved shooting
The officer has four and a half years of service and was part of uniform patrol operations and a part-time SWAT team member
The officer was put on paid administrative leave pending the investigation results

We’re excited to have the opportunity to break barriers and create opportunities that might seem unexpected at first glance.”

senior living organizations nationwide have pushed for an intergenerational design and programming in their communities to promote socialization
and lifelong learning while reducing isolation and the stigmas of aging
