A Pierce County Sheriff’s deputy was killed in a collision while rushing to a domestic violence call.

Deputy Cooper Dyson, 25, was the first deputy who responded to assist two other deputies who were at a home in Parkland. The 911 caller reported around 3 a.m. Saturday that a child had been assaulted and that there were several weapons in the home. The two deputies radioed that they needed backup shortly after arriving at the scene. They reported they were fighting with the suspect and they believed he was trying to get to a shotgun in the home.

A passerby called 911 at 3:10 a.m. to report that a car had crashed into a building in the 1300 block of 112th St. E. in Parkland. It was Deputy Dyson’s patrol car. He was reported deceased at the scene.

The Pierce County Sheriff’s Office says Dyson has served with the department since 2018. He leaves behind a 2-year-old child and a wife, who is pregnant with their second child.

“This is a tremendously sad loss,” Sheriff Paul Pastor said Saturday morning. “Our deputy was responding to help other deputies in a dangerous domestic violence situation. It is another hard reminder of the dangers and difficulties our deputies face.鈥

The sheriff’s office said Saturday also marks 10 years since Deputy Kent Mundell and Sergeant Nick Hausner were shot while responding to a domestic violence call near Eatonville. Mundell died a week later from his wounds.

Saturday’s incident is the first motor vehicle collision death of a Pierce County Sheriff鈥檚 deputy since 1941.
