How they died
Deadly force
Police and firefighters responded to the Regency Mobile Home Park at 1:14 p.m. after a neighbor reported flames shooting out of Ellis Parker's trailer. Officers Randy Suggitt and James Clark arrived first and saw Parker inside at the front window. Parker allegedly broke and came out the window, brandishing a bloody knife. According to police, Clark fired three times when Parker advanced at the officers. Parker was hit, but ran to the back of some trailers. Officer Ken Welch, Sgt. Mike Conley and Lt. Mike Lefler arrived. Parker allegedly came at them with the knife, so Welch fired once. Police said Parker kept coming and several officers opened fire, killing Parker.
