Summary
Parker Perry — a Spokane County sheriff's deputy wounded in a shooting north of Spangle on Tuesday — is on life support at Sacred Heart and not expected to survive.
Oakesdale, a small Palouse town, is mourning one of its own: Perry graduated from Oakesdale High School in 2016 in a class of nine.
155 students now attend the town's pre-K-12 school, where Principal Jake Dingman said Perry was exceptionally goal-oriented and grew up alongside his own children.
Former coach Ken Lindgren said Perry was a team captain and quarterback, framing his death as the loss of a young man who served others from high school through his law-enforcement career.
