Deputy Sheriff Parker Perry succumbed to gunshot wounds he received while responding to a domestic violence call on November 3, 2026.
Around 2:25 p.m., deputies responded to a female victim stating she had been shot at the 18700 block of South Smythe Road in Spangle. The SWAT team was called after a drone discovered a deceased body in the yard, and deputies realized the suspect had two felony warrants. At 3:15 p.m., the SWAT team and deputies attempted to enter the home when they were ambushed. A man inside the residence fired upon them, and a gunfight ensued.
Deputy Perry and Deputy Sheriff Mason Acheson were critically wounded. Deputy Acheson passed away the next morning at Providence Sacred Heart Medical Center. Deputy Perry was kept on life support until his organs could be donated.
The female was treated for non-life-threatening wounds. Two other women were found shot and killed; one person was in the yard and another inside the home. The suspect was also found dead with a self-inflicted gunshot wound.
Deputy Perry was a United States Army National Guard veteran. He had served with the Spokane County Sheriff’s Office for seven years and was a K9 officer. Survivors include his expectant wife and two young children.
