Police: Former officer, daughter dead in apparent murder-suicide

A former Fairfax County police officer from Annandale and his teenage daughter are dead in an apparent murder-suicide, Fairfax County police said.
John Jackson, 40, and his daughter, Alexis Jackson, 13, were found dead of gunshot wounds early Tuesday inside a black sport-utility vehicle parked in the driveway of a house in the 3800 block of Forest Grove Drive, according to police spokeswoman Shelley Broderick. The father and daughter lived in Falls Church, police said.
Police said Jackson was a former sergeant with the Fairfax County Police Department. They said he left in June 2010 after serving for 16 years.
The shooting occurred between midnight and 1 a.m. Tuesday. Police said a woman called police around 1:15 a.m. to report the shooting.
The brick, single family home where the shootings occurred is in a residential neighborhood, just north of Mason District Park off Columbia Pike.

Ex-police officer, daughter dead in Fairfax murder-suicide

former Fairfax County police officer and his teenage daughter were found dead in a sport-utility vehicle Tuesday in what authorities said was an apparent murder-suicide.
Police received a call reporting a shooting at about 1:15 a.m. Tuesday. When officers arrived at a home on the 3800 block of Forest Grove Drive in Annandale, they found an SUV parked in the driveway that contained two bodies with gunshot wounds, Fairfax County police spokeswoman Mary Ann Jennings said.
Authorities identified the two as 40-year-old John Jackson, a 16-year veteran for the county police department who resigned in June 2010, and his daughter, 13-year-old Alexis Jackson.
Officer Shelley Broderick, another police spokeswoman, said a medical examiner will determine which death was a homicide and which was a suicide. She said it would be "overstepping" to make that determination before receiving the medical examiner's report.
Broderick said she had no information about what sparked the incident and would not say whether a weapon was recovered.
"That's all under investigation," she said.
A family member found the Jacksons shortly after 1 a.m. and the two are believed to have died between midnight and 1 a.m., police said. John and Alexis Jackson lived in Falls Church and the SUV was parked outside the home of another relative, Broderick said.
Alexis was a seventh-grade student at Glasgow Middle School in Alexandria, according to John Torre, a spokesman for Fairfax County Public Schools.
Broderick said she didn't know why Jackson left the police force or what he had been doing since leaving the department. The phone number listed for him in public records went to his voicemail at John and Robs Services, a family trash-hauling business.
The company's website says it was founded in 1952 by Joseph F. Jackson under the name Jackson and Sons General Hauling and Trash Removal. Two of Joseph Jackson's sons, Robert and John, took over the business in 1998, the website says.
No one at the Woodbridge-based business answered the phone or responded to an email Tuesday. A phone number listed for Jackson's Falls Church home was disconnected.
A number of murder-suicides have rattled the Washington region over the past year, including a Kensington psychiatrist who killed herself and her teenage son, an elderly man who fatally shot himself and his wife at a Rockville assisted-living facility and a Fairfax scientist who killed herself and her psychiatrist.

Former police officer is subject of apparent murder-suicide

A former Fairfax County Police officer and his daughter are both dead in an apparent murder-suicide that police said occurred in Annandale early this morning.

According to police, former Sgt. John Jackson, 40, and his 13-year-old daughter, Alexis, both of the 5900 block of Summers Lane in Falls Church, were found dead at 1:15 a.m. in a vehicle parked in the driveway of a home in the 3800 block of Forest Grove Drive.

“Police responded to a report of a shooting and discovered the two bodies inside an SUV,” said police spokeswoman Tawny Wright. Police said the Annandale home was the residence of family members related to Jackson, but did not elaborate.

“The SUV was towed to our crime scene lab,” Wright said.

Police said they believe the shootings occurred sometime between midnight and 1 a.m.

“We are currently classifying this case as a homicide-suicide,” Wright said.

Officer Shelley Broderick said that Jackson resigned from the Fairfax County Police Department in June 2010 after serving 16 years, but did not give a reason for his resignation. ”That would be a personnel issue and not something we would release,” she said.

Police investigate apparent murder-suicide in Annandale

A former Fairfax County police sergeant and his daughter were found dead early Tuesday in what police are calling a murder-suicide.
The bodies of John Jackson, 40, and his 13-year-old daughter, Alexis Jackson, were found in an SUV parked in the driveway of a home on the 3800 block of Forest Grove Drive in Annandale.
The home was not where the Jacksons lived, police said.
Officers responded to the scene around 1:14 a.m. after a family member reportedly found Jackson and his daughter dead in the vehicle.
The deaths likely occurred between midnight and 1 a.m., and the medical examiner will work to determine the causes of death, police said. No motive has been established.
Jackson worked for the Fairfax County Police Department for 16 years before leaving in 2010.
The Associated Press reported that the girl’s mother also was in the SUV but escaped and called police.

and now a word from chief rhoreerer

I have recently found out that my job has nothing to do with Indians.  This makes me very sad and despondent and despondent has nothing to do with newspapers.  That man they make me see every week, told me that it means something else.  

So let me rephrase myself, but you should know that doing that too much will make hair grow on your palms, that man also told me that too.  So here goes “I have recently found out that my job has nothing to do with Indians.  This makes me very sad and something else.”

So anyway, back to the mail.  Most of the mail this week is the same as it was last week.  It arrives in envelopes and has paper inside it where people write things.  The thing they write the most is “How does a moron like you keep his job?” to which I write back “Because around here I’m a fucking intellectual giant, a bastion of brilliance, I mean, have you ever talked to a Fairfax County Cop? They think sexual battery is something in a dildo”

Also, we’re the only government in the world that makes the elected people who are supposed to oversee the police department keep their offices inside the police department….you really think they’re gonna rule against us under those living conditions?  As long as we got that scam go’n, I’m safe.”    

Speaking of body hair, you know, just because I use to have a mustache like this, it doesn’t mean I use to act in porn flicks back in the 70’s. I wasn’t even going for that look ….let me ask you something, do you sometimes hear little men telling you to do things? I mean like, you know…weird things?...cause I……….

Ex-police officer, daughter dead in Fairfax murder-suicide

A former Fairfax County police officer and his teenage daughter were found dead in a sport-utility vehicle Tuesday in what authorities said was an apparent murder-suicide.

When officers arrived at a home on the 3800 block of Forest Grove Drive in Annandale, they found an SUV parked in the driveway that contained two bodies with gunshot wounds, Fairfax County police spokeswoman Mary Ann Jennings said.

Police: Former officer, daughter dead in apparent murder-suicide

A 40-year-old man and his 13-year-old daughter were found dead in a black SUV early Tuesday morning in an Annadale driveway.

Jackson and his daughter, of the 5900 block of Summers Lane in Falls Church, are believed to have died between midnight and 1 a.m. Officers were called to the scene about 1:15 a.m., police said.

Fairfax County court records show that Jackson and his wife were going through a bitter divorce last summer but that they dropped the proceedings in January.

Detectives said the evidence points to John Jackson as the shooter, but they were waiting for the state medical examiner to rule on the cause and manner of the pair’s death.

Police declined to discuss a possible motive.

Jackson was a 16-year veteran of the county police force before he resigned in June 2010, said Officer Shelley Broderick, a police spokesman. Broderick said the department could not discuss Jackson’s performance or why he left the force because personnel records are confidential. But those who knew him said he had served with distinction.

Edward J. Nuttall, the former longtime attorney for the Fairfax police officers union, said the incident was “absolutely shocking. He was a hard-working officer, a good supervisor. This one’s hitting a lot of nerves.”

Nuttall said Jackson worked as an undercover narcotics detective early in his career and was promoted to sergeant in 2006. He was last stationed in Mount Vernon.

A 1997 Associated Press article said a county officer named John Jackson saved the life of a choking toddler by performing the Heimlich maneuver at a restaurant.

Police officials would not say whether it was the same John Jackson who died Monday, but they said there were no other officers on the force with that name. Jackson was presented with a Valor Award by the Fairfax County Chamber of Commerce for saving the child.

The plaudits were in stark contrast to the private life detailed in divorce proceedings. Jackson’s wife filed for divorce in July, alleging that he treated her in a “cruel and abusive manner.”

In an incident in January 2010, she alleged in court papers, her husband made her take off her clothes, drenched them in water and would not let her dress until the next morning. He also brandished a rifle in front of his wife and daughter, according to court papers.

Jackson filed a divorce complaint of his own, saying that his wife had had numerous affairs.

Alexis Jackson was a seventh-grader at Glasgow Middle School in Lincolnia. Grief counselors were at the school Tuesday and will be available for the rest of the week, according to county school officials.

“On behalf of Glasgow Middle School, I have extended our sincere condolences to the family,” Principal Deirdre M. Lavery said in a letter to parents. “A sudden loss like this can have an effect on students. For that reason, we hope that you will listen to your son or daughter as well as discuss with them their feelings and reactions to this tragedy.”

Staff writers Tom Jackman and Jimm Phillips and staff researcher Magda Jean-Louis contributed to this report.
