Domestic Violence turns to shooting and claims the lives of 2 Spokane County Deputies.

On 3 November 2026, Deputies with the Spokane County Sheriff's Office in Washington State responded to a reported domestic violence shooting in Spangle, WA. In the call notes, it stated that an adult female had been shot and needed medical help. 

Deputies who originally arrived on scene learned that the male suspect had an active felony arrest warrant issued and, through that, found out he may have additional weapons and possible other victims, which is where they called for Spokane County SWAT. 

On arrival, the SWAT Team and Deputies attempted to approach the male suspect's residence to make entry; when they did so, shots went off in the home, and 2 Deputies were hit. Other Deputies returned fire and helped the injured Deputies to safety. 

With the gravity of possible outcomes, immediate Life Flight Helicopters were dispatched to transport one, while the other Deputy was transported by car, which shut down the major freeway I-90 and US-195.

As of 6 November 2026, the Sheriff's Office confirmed the passing of Deputy Mason Acheson and Deputy Parker Perry.

Deputy Mason Acheson dedicated his life to serving his country and community through military service and law enforcement. He served with the Washington State Patrol from 2014 to 2022 before joining the Spokane County Sheriff’s Office, where he served on the Downtown Dayshift platoon and SWAT Team as a sniper.

He also served in the Washington Army National Guard, achieving the rank of Sergeant and earning numerous military honours. Known for his skill, bravery, and commitment to protecting others, Deputy Acheson made the ultimate sacrifice while attempting to save lives. His courage, selflessness, and dedication to service leave a lasting legacy.

Deputy Parker Perry also dedicated his life to serving his country and community through military service and law enforcement. He joined the Spokane County Sheriff’s Office in May 2020, serving on the SWAT Team before becoming a K-9 Deputy alongside his partner, Brego, in 2025. He also served as a Captain in the Washington Army National Guard, earning multiple military honours.

On November 3, 2026, Deputy Perry was critically wounded by gunfire while bravely attempting to rescue a potential hostage during a domestic violence incident. He made the ultimate sacrifice while protecting others, and his legacy of selflessness continued through organ donation, helping save the lives of those in need. Deputy Perry is survived by his wife, two children, and a third child soon to join their family.
