Documents have been served on the West Seattle shooting victim

There is new information about the fatal shooting of 57-year-old Tamara Towers Parry in West Seattle on Tuesday afternoon.

The Seattle Police Department (SPD) said the shooting happened just after 1 p.m. Two people arrived at Parry's home to hand over documents. Police said she walked out of her home armed with a shotgun and one of the waiters, a 40-year-old man, pulled out his gun and shot Parry twice in the torso. She died at the scene of the accident.

“I just heard two very, very loud gunshots,” neighbor Ellen Macom told KIRO Newsradio. “It sounded very close. I thought, I hoped it was construction noise in the neighborhood, but I wondered if it was a gunshot.”

Police arrived a few minutes later and found Parry unresponsive. She died at the scene of the accident.

“It's very tragic and I just wish the owner of the house could have gotten help,” neighbor Ruth Shapiro told KIRO Newsradio. “It sounds like she really needed it. It’s very sad.”

Parry was well known in her neighborhood, or many people knew her.

She was a graduate of the University of Washington Medical School. She was also a member of Qanon. There was a Qanon sign on her front window and a huge American flag hanging over the garage. She was also an election denier and was at the US Capitol on January 6th.

“We definitely shared different political views, I have to say, and she took very strong positions, but it was always amicable,” neighbor Joel Beherendt told KIRO Newsradio. “She was always very friendly, always very nice. I have no reason to believe that what happened had anything to do with it.”

Shapiro said she believes Parry was a victim.

“I also feel like she’s a victim,” she said. “I feel like she is a victim of an ideology and I blame people who know better and encourage others to take these positions.”

Police said the two waiters cooperated with the investigation, all weapons were recovered and there were no arrests.
