That sound is the kid’s dog whimpering. The gunfire sounds are scaring him, most likely.

But, that is a bunch of fire power, for one person.

POST FALLS, Idaho.—Authorities shut down part of I-90 early Sunday morning to investigate a multi-agency officer involved shooting in Post Falls.

Authorities said officers and deputies from the Kootenai County Sheriff’s Office, Coeur d’Alene Police Department, Post Falls Police and Idaho State Police were involved in an early morning shooting near the Spokane Street overpass. The lone suspect was taken to Kootenai Health and listed in critical condition Sunday morning according to the Kootenai County Sheriff’s Office.

Idaho State Police said the westbound lanes of I-90 were closed between Highway 41 and Spokane Street. The eastbound lanes on this stretch of the interstate were unaffected.

The freeway remained closed well into the morning Sunday as law enforcement continued investigating at the scene.  Authorities said it was unclear when the westbound lanes would reopen.

The Critical Incident Task Force, led by the Bonner County Sheriff’s Office, launched an investigation.

Police State? Ya think?
