Idaho police say suspect killed after firing at police

BOISE, Idaho (AP) - Three Boise police officers fatally shot a man who was firing his gun from inside a trailer, authorities said.

Officers say they responded to reports of gunshots in Meridian, just west of Boise, on Monday. They located the trailer from which gunshots were reported and found a nearby trailer had been struck several times.

Officers with shields then moved toward the trailer and he resumed shooting from inside his trailer.

Police then exchanged fire with the suspect. They did not say how many rounds were fired.

The suspect died on the scene. His identity was not made public, but he was believed to be around 60 years old, said Stephany Galbreaith, public information officer for the Meridian Police Department.

The officers involved in the shooting were equipped with body cameras. Officials are using that and other evidence to investigate the shooting.
