On Tuesday afternoon, September 2, 2008, 40-year-old Skagit County Sheriff’s deputy Anne Marie Jackson was shot and killed while responding to a disturbance call at a residence in Alger, Washington. Deputy Jackson, a six-year veteran, was found dead at the scene after dispatchers lost contact and a fellow deputy went to check on her. A second victim at that location was 58-year-old Chester Rose.

The shooter was identified as 28-year-old Isaac Zamora, whose mother had called police about a trespassing incident involving him. After killing Deputy Jackson and Rose, Zamora continued a violent spree in the neighborhood that left multiple additional victims before he fled. During a subsequent high-speed chase on Interstate 5 he wounded a Washington State Patrol trooper and fatally shot 64-year-old Leroy Lange; other victims included 57-year-old David Radcliffe, 38-year-old Greg Gillum, and 48-year-old Julie Binschus.

Isaac Zamora surrendered at the Skagit County Sheriff’s Office in Mount Vernon and was arrested and booked on multiple counts of murder and attempted murder. Does anyone have recollections of the Alger community from that week or additional details about Deputy Jackson’s service that could help preserve her memory?
