Edward Jarrish

Warden Jarrish was shot and killed after confronting two poachers who were hunting deer in Pend Oreille County. During the confrontation one of the juvenile suspects pointed his rifle at Warden Jarrish and threatened him. Warden Jarrish decided to attempt the arrest at a later date and began to leave the area. As he walked away the suspect shot him in the back of the neck, severing his spinal cord. The two boys were later arrested at their father's farm.
