Line of Duty Death

Deputy Anne Jackson was shot and killed after responding to a disturbance at a residence in Alger. When dispatchers were unable to reach her, another deputy was sent to the location and found her body, along with a second shooting victim.

The suspect was located and led responding officers on a pursuit down I-5 in which he wounded a Washington State Patrol trooper and fatally shot another motorist. He was apprehended at the Skagit County Sheriff's Office by members of the Washington State Patrol, Mount Vernon Police Department, and the Skagit County Sheriff's Office.

The ensuing investigation revealed that the suspect had also murdered three other people on two properties near the location where Deputy Jackson was shot.

Deputy Jackson had served with the Skagit County Sheriff's Office for 6 years. She is survived by her parents.

Memorial Service Information

Statement From Anne's Family

We, the family of Anne Jackson, want to acknowledge and extend our profound gratitude to all those people, relatives, friends, complete strangers, and the law enforcement community, who have come forward to assist and comfort us at this tragic time. From the depth of our grief, not only for Anne, but for all the families affected by this horrific event, we also want to say how proud we were, and are, of Anne. She was committed to her work in the finest sense. She saw her job as an opportunity to help the people of her community. She was a cheerful and giving soul, loving and beloved. We know that she knew and had offered her personal help to the family of the man who committed this terrible act, because she had experienced the pain of a similar mental affliction suffered by her own brother. The sorrows and tragedies of mental illness affect the health of the whole community. We wish to make it clear that we hold no animosity toward Isaac Zamora or his family.

Anne Jackson will be remembered with love and respect by everyone who knew her.

  Police Memorial Flag
Posted by Dennis Tangborn
on Monday, September 01 2008 @ 00:56:37 CDT  (46 reads)
News A few years ago, our chapter had a large memorial flag on display at our annual run and again at your picnic (in 2004 I think) so that it could be signed by supporters and your members. We received the following word about this flag (one of four of its kind). "The big flag that your chapter hosted, has been chosen to be the first item to be inducted into the new National Law Enforcment Officers Memorial Museum in Washington D.C. The names that you signed upon the face of the flag may be on displayed depending on how it is unfurled."

Thought this would be of interest to your members, especially those who were attendance. I notice that there are a couple of photos in your gallery of the flag while at your picnic.

Best regards,

Dennis Tangborn, President

  King County Deputy Sheriff Steve Cox
Posted by Troy Meyers

Line of Duty Death


Deputy Steve Cox was shot and killed while questioning a suspect.

Deputy Cox and other deputies had responded to a shooting in the southwestern part of the city. They found a truck driver who had been beaten and shot at least once in the head. As they were questioning people at a nearby house party, Deputy Cox was interviewing someone in a back bedroom when he was shot in the head. Two deputies responding to the gunshot were fired upon when at least one returned fire, killing the shooter. Deputy Cox was transported to a nearby hospital where he succumbed to his wound.

The truck driver's injuries were not life-threatening. He had hit a parked truck which started the initial altercation.

Deputy Cox was a 9 year veteran of the King County Sheriff's Department. He is survived by his wife and a young child.
