Overview
- Authorities say the attacker shot into a truck outside the Shoshone County Sheriff's Office, then fired from the lobby toward the dispatch area.
- Two women in the truck were hit in the legs and a deputy sustained a wound to the ear, with all injuries described as non-life-threatening.
- A multi-agency response with a SWAT team arrived around 2:40 p.m. PT, and the suspect was pronounced dead at 4:15 p.m. after an exchange with officers.
- The building also houses the courthouse and county jail, and early reports of possible jail access intensified the law enforcement response, though no inmates were harmed.
- Kootenai County and Coeur d'Alene police are handling the criminal investigation, and Idaho State Police will review the officer-involved shooting as the suspect's identity and motive remain undisclosed.
