Two Spokane County sheriff's deputies were killed in what began as a domestic violence call and turned into a deadly rescue attempt. Authorities say deputies Mason Acheson and Parker Perry were shot Tuesday as they tried to enter a home near Spangle, Washington, after a woman reported she'd been shot and that others might still be inside, per Fox News. SWAT teams later sent in a drone and found the suspected gunman, 37-year-old Ryan Larsen, dead of an apparent self-inflicted gunshot, along with the bodies of his mother and sister, 72-year-old Suzanne Larsen and 45-year-old Rebecca Larsen.
Acheson died shortly after reaching the hospital; Perry was kept on life support so his organs could be donated. Both were National Guard veterans and leave behind wives and two children; Perry's wife is expecting a third child, Fox reports. "They bravely moved toward danger to protect others they did not know," the sheriff's office said in a joint statement with local police, adding Perry "laid down his life to rescue another," per KOMO. The county has set up a fund to help with funeral costs and to support the many families affected.
