The one looking at the camera is a melanistic T. scripta

Three of them are definitely Trachemys scripta. Can't say for sure about the one looking at the camera.

Yeah, hard to tell from this photo, but all 4 could be T. scripta.

Interesting - that may be a release as well. No records of them from Harrisonburg, I believe.
