A Manassas Park High School art teacher was arrested Monday after a loaded handgun was found in the parking lot at Manassas Park Middle School, WTOP reported.
Manassas Park police identified and took into custody Veronica Gooch-Ray, of Potomac Falls, in connection with the firearm. She was charged with possession of a firearm on school property under Virginia Code § 18.2-308.1. Police said she is employed as an art teacher at Manassas Park High School.
Updated Oct. 31, 2026: This story has been updated to reflect that the crash happened in the Yorkshire area of Prince William County. Police used a Manassas postal address.
Two people were killed in a Yorkshire-area crash Saturday night after a driver ran a stop sign at Leland Road and Maplewood Drive, Prince William County police said.
Manassas Park City Schools closed every school Monday, Oct. 26, after a weapon was found in the secondary parking lot. The division said the closure is out of an abundance of caution and will give the Manassas Park Police Department time to investigate the source of the weapon.
The alert posted on the Manassas Park City Schools website does not name which campus, describe the weapon, say when it was found, or report injuries, arrests, or any ongoing threat. Manassas Park Middle School and Manassas Park High School share the Euclid Avenue campus at 8202 and 8200 Euclid Avenue; the elementary schools are at separate sites.
When much of this infrastructure went into the ground, it was new and backed by armies of technicians who knew it inside and out. Fifty years later, that wire has been patched over many times. Moisture gets in after heavy rain. Replacement parts are harder to find, and the workforce that knows how to repair these systems is retiring faster than it can be replaced. When a copper line goes down today, the fix often takes longer and costs more than it used to, and it may not hold.
That’s why the path forward matters so much, and why I think the Federal Communications Commission got this right. Earlier this year, the FCC unanimously adopted a plan to modernize how carriers decommission copper. Commissioners from both parties voted for it, which is no small thing in today’s Washington. The plan clears away outdated processes that has slowed investment in better networks. Just as important, it keeps the federal government in the loop before a company can fully stop offering a service. The goal is a managed transition. It is not supposed to leave anyone stranded without a working way to call for help.
WUSA9 reports the Bhatts’ babysitter testified Tuesday that Naresh Bhatt appeared anxious when he barged into her apartment to pick up his daughter during the ongoing murder trial.
