Overview
- The Dec. 2 incident began during a court-ordered eviction, when Jed Parkington barricaded himself and fired on police armored vehicles as officers returned fire without striking him.
- A drone later showed Parkington dead from a self-inflicted gunshot, with grenades, a pipe bomb and other improvised explosive devices visible inside the home.
- Human remains discovered in the house were ruled a homicide, with the medical examiner citing blunt impact injuries with gagging and the victim’s identity still pending.
- A state marshal reported Parkington wore a military-style shirt bearing a Nazi insignia and a utility belt with suspected explosive items, after he pushed his wife outside and warned the scene would not end well.
- Released negotiator audio captures Parkington’s complaints about eviction and lack of housing, as the Inspector General, State Police, Stamford Police and the state’s attorney continue the investigation.
