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.
SSRIs likely.

The most potentially deadly calls for LEO's are domestic violence calls. May the two brave LEO's and the other victims rest in peace.
How sad. Brave deputies.
Here’s a weird coincidence. Woke up this morning and checked the weather. We’ve got so-so air quality here in the Inland Northwest and I checked the Air Quality Map around Coeur d’Alene / Spokane. Noticed a small town named “Spangle” a bit south of Spokane. So I looked at the town website and read about it on Wiki. It’s a typical farming community in the Palouse ag region south of Spokane, population 280, named after a pioneer named “Spangle.”
Not an hour later, I read your post and see these deputies were killed in Spangle, WA.

This guy was bad news historically.
Court and police records show Larsen had a history of weapons violations and prior run-ins with law enforcement. At the time of the shooting, Larsen had an active felony arrest warrant out of Spokane County for eluding police, and court records noted he had prior warrants related to weapons offenses For instance, in a 2015 incident in Whitman County, police seized a .357 Magnum, a long rifle, and a shotgun from him after he pointed a revolver at a pedestrian, leading to a conviction for aiming or discharging a firearm. The police are not releasing where he got the guns he wasn’t legally supposed to have.

So why did they put these deputies in harm’s way of this scumbag?
Beautiful family.
RIP soldier
So very sad! RIP!
According to ABC local, “
“...members of the Spokane County SWAT Team approached the home around 3:15 p.m. for an emergency entry, fearing for people’s safety”
They may have been fighting a time situation where they needed to get in and get the other people he killed as the lady who called didn’t know if they had been killed. So they had to assume they wre still alive but were possibly running out of time. But that’s what SWAT does.
