Two Washington deputies killed trying to rescue possible hostages after woman shot

Two Spokane County sheriff’s deputies were fatally shot while trying to reach possible hostages at a home near Spangle, Washington. The incident began when a woman reported being shot, and the deputies’ deaths, alongside three others at the scene, left several families grieving.

Mason Acheson and Parker Perry entered the home at about 3:15 p.m. on 3 November after authorities learned the suspect had an active felony warrant and might have more weapons. Acheson died in hospital; Perry was kept on life support so he could donate his organs. Authorities identified the suspect as Ryan Larsen, 37, who died by suicide, and the other victims as his mother, Suzanne, 72, and sister, Rebecca, 45.
