3 people with minor injuries, suspected gunman dead after shooting at Idaho sheriff's office,
Shooting in Idaho: 3 people with minor injuries, suspected gunman dead after shooting at Idaho sheriff's office, authorities say. What we want to do right now is go to a live event right now. Um, we don't know much. About that, but I want to go ahead and talk,
I'm hearing from our producers right now. It's about a shooting. In Idaho, let's go ahead and hear if there are any more details. Yes.
1 of us still has minor injuries. Minor injuries, too. He was shot in the leg. I believe. The Kanye County Sheriff and Saline Police are handling the criminal incident.
And, is the ISP handling the officer-involved shooting? And that's all I have at this point. Anyone else? Also, like to add. Out of the police department with DamianGroves, outstanding work done.
Get control of the scene there. So, that big propto him. So, I have all the shooters. Shoot inside the windows or anything first. Do they show the shot?
I don't have an answer for that. I haven't been inside the building yet, and it's all sealed off at this point. Um, like, acid, handling a Kidney County Inquiry or criminal part, and ISP too.
Part of it is the officer in the ball shooting. I've been told that there were 2 people shot there. Like before. The suspect was taken down. Is that true? Any chance of that? All I know is
That 2 women were shot. Um, they were sitting in a pickup truck. One time, uh, the guy shot through the windshield. And, he hit the lady in the leg. And then the lady in the front seat and the lady in the back seat,
You know, uh, I'm sorry, move on. Find out anything about the suspect, dead. Is he from Wallace? I don't know anything about him yet.
My name was just put out on social media. John Drake. I can't confirm it at this time. Well, it was kind of irresponsible, whoever put it there.
Um, I don't even know. Question: Who shot? Shot the suspect? The shooter. All I know is, um, there was an officer-involved shooting. Like, I don't know who it was.
SWAT was here. So I believe they had some memories here. Do you know how many law enforcement officers get charged? I don't. I don't know the answer to that.
And so, for 2 people, like 2 civilians were injured. You said he was shot in the leg. 1 Oh, deputy, you said, how are they? They're offline,
All minor injuries. Cleveland signed over to the sheriff's office at the time. I probably um, Keller went to the police chief and the Damien girls. Also, went in.
And the dispatch center was shot. Girls hitting ThisNick and his ears, and that's it. That's as far as I know. So,
Was there a hostage situation?
Not for us, no. Do we have how many different law enforcement agencies responded? GotCooney County Coeurdale. Our department. Um, all the local Kellogg
Osburn. Spokane. Mineral County. FBI. Did I say marshal here? I didn't, you were just sworn in, how are you feeling right now?
Sir? A little emotional. It's been a tough month. Just like 1. Can you fill us in on the events that happened? Appeared. Not on the side like I said,
Everything is preliminary at this point, and it will probably change as the investigation is conducted. Where people were shot. Outside. Sheriff's office. No, they weren't. All 3 were outside the sheriff's office.
2 civilians were shot in the street. That's all I know. And then 1 officer was shot in the ear. Um, insight. A total of 3 people were injured. Yes, minor injuries. At this time.
Do we know what time the shooter was? 415 PM, when the shooter. Down. Well, pronounced dead at that time. Okay. Are you able to
What if the special team was on the scene?
I had. Oh boy. Actually, the most isCeline and Kney County. I believe they have a joint SWAT team. Is that correct? Yes. Chief North,
Did you respond? Oh, with your team, or were you here all the same? To make sure you can stay in this for a month.
We want to go to the chief of department in such a major incident, um, as soon as I heard about it, I felt it was probably necessary for me to come. Um, just to support the sheriff.
If he is fully capable of handling this. But uh, it's a pretty significant event when you have someone who walks into the lobby of the sheriff's office.
And the shooting starts. It's a pretty significant event. Initial reports suggest the suspect had access to the jail. So Ramped Up also picked up our response.
So we had our SWAT assets immediately, and we put our jail on standby. And we were here to support the Shawnee County Sheriff's Department,
Anyway, we can think of the jail. Where their focus was in the jail while this was washing, have they been removed from the jail now? Somewhere else? Those guys were in jail.
Yes, and they are still being held in that. Our facility. Is this incident connected to any part of the jail, or not? This didn't happen in the courthouse? Where was the shooter shot? I believe in the lobby.
The lobby certainly, if anyone does that, enhances the thinking process for the future? And securing the lobby in front of the sheriff's office. Normally, that building is secured; it is just open today.
Business basically, and uh, so, it shows that we walk. Just walked in and, oh, so we walked in like this.
Why was it open?
The lobby is always open and can sense reports or contact him. Send us a hold or whatever. It was needed, but uh, in all the county agencies, we didn't have any holidays.
So, most of us were open for business. The sheriff's office across Idaho was open. The first point of entry was open. Do you think you'd change that in the future?
Yeah, we'll have to look at some changes. Yeah, sure, is there anything you can talk about in terms of the people in the basement of Ace Hardware
Can you talk about the people who are putting up barriers?
Um, so the operation, are your forces going there to try to get them back from the basement? I don't know anything about that. That's all new to me.
So, like I said, there was more than one thing going on, so I knew there were some people there, that's all I knew. The suspect left, no,
So there was an empty number 1. No, yeah, just dispatch was there, and there were like security rooms or something. I mean, he was really confined to that lobby. Yeah, and that's where
That bunker went down, right? Oh, were there shots fired at law enforcement? Beyond that? The initial 3 people. Yeah shot. How many do you have in the ballpark? I don't.
Butt was exchanging fire for quite some time. I don't have the answer to that, and I'm not going to release that information at this time, sir. Do you know what kind of weapons this person was carrying?
And what did he have? That's all I know. Several guns. Well. Several. Several guns? Yes. It's all rifles. Handguns. I don't know that at this time.
Know how old I am? The rest follow. Industries evacuated. Believe. So yeah. Ourdown Someone just pointed it out in AceHardware.
So okay, but that's all I have. Thank you. Press conference, just wrapping up. But please provide an update on the shooting from Wallace.
Idaho, we were just bringing you this information. Live asit was just coming into the newsroom, they were just wrapping things up. If you were just tuning in, let me go ahead.
And bring you the information. It was just fed. Multiple people responded to see. The suspect was neutralized in the downtown Wallace shooting.
You just saw 1 official speaking as Sheriff Bob Norris was saying that the suspect involved in the shooting was seen inside Wallace with an active shooter.
And it has been confirmed that police are currently responding to the active shooter. Um, this shooter we learned through this press conference, um, has been neutralized,
We learned that at 4:15 p.m. in Idaho, the suspect was killed. Officers believe it could have been in the lobby. Multiple agencies responded.
Um, also, Coeurdalene, um, authorities are responding as well. Um, the suspect went into the lobby, and it appears to be the police, and started shooting there. So we'll get more information. As it comes along. We'll bring it.
