Suspect arrested after 1 killed, 1 injured in Coeur d’Alene

COEUR D'ALENE, Idaho (AP) - Idaho State Police have arrested a homicide suspect who police say fatally shot at least one man in Coeur d'Alene.

Police responded to a man who reported his vehicle was stolen at gunpoint Thursday around 5:30 p.m. before receiving a report of a shooting at another location in Coeur d'Alene, authorities said.

"The suspect information for the shooter was consistent with the robbery," Coeur d'Alene Police Sgt. Jared Reneau said.

The Coeur d'Alene Police Department and the Idaho State Police did not release the name of the suspect.

One man was found dead at the scene of the shooting, and another man had already been taken to Kootenai Health, police said.

State troopers later located and pursued the stolen vehicle on Interstate 90 and then U.S. Route 97 before the vehicle was involved in a crash, authorities said.

The suspect was detained with minor injuries and a state trooper suffered minor injuries, State Police Capt. John Kempf said on Twitter.

Photos in the tweet showed a patrol car collided with an overturned vehicle.

The North Idaho Critical Incident Task Force and Coeur d'Alene police detectives are investigating the events.
