SPOKANE, Wash. — It’s been days since Tuesday’s deadly shooting near Spangle where the Spokane community lost three civilians and two sheriff deputies were shot critically.
Now, firefighters from local union 2916 in Fire District 9 are encouraging local businesses, agencies, and the community to help the families of the two fallen deputies, Mason Acheson and Parker Perry. Both deputies were members of the SWAT team, but also fathers, who sacrificed their lives to save a family that was in danger in South Spokane County.
“We all work together. We all know each other’s language. So, when something like this happens, it’s definitely tough,” said Spokane County Fire District 9’s Robert Gray.
On Monday, a fundraiser will be hosted at Hop Mountain Taproom & Grill in Mead from noon to 8 p.m. Organizers say 100% of the proceeds will be donated to the deputies’ families.
“It’s about the families and what we can do to help them out as much as we can,” said Alexander Dreier, the manager at Hop Mountain.
Rewired 24/7 will also be bringing two stair master’s from their gym to the event so that firefighters will be able to take a step for every dollar donated.
“When you’re actually on those stairs, taking those steps… that’s their way of coping,” Gray said.
Organizers say as of Sunday morning, they have raised $640. During Monday’s event, cash and online donations will be accepted.
