An ambulance also responded to the call. As the unconscious person was being loaded into the ambulance, Officer Parsons was shot by a man outside a nearby mobile home.  That man was Gary Sancegrow, age 30, of Mineral Point, who fled into the nearby woods and who has been apprehended as of this posting.

Michael, Archangel, Patron
Saint of the Police, pray for
Chris

There was no apparent motive for the shooting of Officer Parsons.  Sancegrow did not know Officer Parsons.

Christopher is survived by many loving friends and relatives.

Pray for all who die in the line of duty.

God save us from the Lost Ones who stalk the Earth stealing away life.  Amen.

Thank you for serving, Chris.

Let us pray that Christopher Parsons is in heaven. Let us pray that he is at peace and is with God. Amen.
