ISP names man killed in officer-involved shooting
The man killed Friday night in a shooting involving three Coeur d'Alene police officers has been identified as Thomas White, 28, of Coeur d'Alene.
The shooting occurred after Coeur d'Alene Police Department officers were dispatched to a domestic disturbance call on Dragon Fly Drive in Coeur d'Alene.
According to Idaho State Police, just prior to the officers' arrival, one of the subjects involved in the domestic dispute left the residence from where the call was placed, reportedly with a gun.
The officers set up a perimeter of the area and began searching for White. Officers located White in the backyard of the house next to the address where the call originated. Shots were fired and White was fatally wounded. No one else was injured during the incident.
The names of the officers involved are not being released at this time pending further investigation. The Coeur d'Alene Police Department has placed the officers on administrative leave per agency policy.
An autopsy was performed on White by the Kootenai County Coroner's Office today.
