3 things to know this morning – January 30, 2023

IDAHO FALLS, Idaho (KIFI) - Here's what you should know to start your cold Monday.

1. Matthew E. Planer, a 52 year old Pocatello resident, was shot and killed in an officer involved shooting Friday on West Center Street in Pocatello. Planer was having a conversation with an officer when he grabbed and raised a chef's knife, resulting in the officer firing his weapon. Officers then rendered aid but were unsuccessful in their attempts.

2. Dozens of school districts and charter schools are closed today due to the severe weather conditions. We have a full list of closures here.

3. There are some road closures this morning as well due to high winds and blowing snow.
