the scene. It is always tragic when we have acts of violence within our
community, but it is heart wrenching when the perpetrator is supposed to be
your protector. I am glad to hear that the victim is recovering at a local
hospital, but the emotional trauma will remain for some time. The Seat Pleasant
Police Department is committed to working with the Prince George’s County State’s
Attorney’s Office and the Prince George’s County Police to ensure we hold Ms.
