At Rest

Deadly force
Walker County deputies were called for a welfare check after a 911 call was made. The caller said a female at the home was threatening to kill herself and her children. When Deputy John Chandler arrived he saw Mark Steven Parkinson in the home with a weapon. Parkinson allegedly pointed the weapon at Deputy Chandler, who shot and killed him.
This record exists so that Mark Steven Parkinson, and all who are named in this archive, are never reduced to a number.
