Dumfries leaders are working to introduce a gun buyback program that will allow residents to sell firearms they no longer want to the town in exchange for cash.
According to state law, the town created an ordinance to state the purpose of the buyback program. Residents are invited to come and speak on the proposed gun buyback program during the town council’s public meeting on July 5, 2022.
An employee told police that he and the driver of a car in the drive-through lane were engaged in a verbal altercation that escalated. The driver brandished a firearm at the employee during the encounter before driving through the lane, police said.

The project will also convert the current southbound alignment into a two-way roadway for local traffic.
The 2-mile project will include retaining walls, storm drainage improvements, stormwater management facilities, pedestrian, and multi-modal improvements. The purpose project is to relieve existing and projected traffic congestion, manage access, as well as improve safety by including pedestrian infrastructure.
