Overview
- The suspected gunman was identified as John Drake, believed to be about 77, who was fatally shot after a standoff and pronounced dead at 4:15 p.m.
- Officials say the attacker fired into a pickup on the street, wounding two women in the legs, then entered the lobby and shot toward the dispatch area.
- Three people were injured and described as having minor wounds, and an officer’s ear injury was later attributed to flying glass rather than a gunshot.
- A large response brought at least eight agencies, including a SWAT team, to the Shoshone County Sheriff’s Office in Wallace.
- Kootenai County Sheriff’s Office and Coeur d’Alene Police are handling the criminal case, while Idaho State Police review the officer-involved shooting, and investigators have not identified a motive.
