COEUR d’ALENE — A jury has found accused Fourth of July shooter Tyler Rambo not guilty of second degree attempted murder.
Rambo, 20, was also found not guilty of aggravated assault.
He was found guilty of three counts of aggravated assault on a peace officer.
The 12-person jury began deliberating around 1:30 p.m. Wednesday and read the verdict around 6:15 p.m. Thursday.
The charges stemmed from the July 4, 2019 celebration at City Park in Coeur d’Alene.
Prosecutors said Rambo, who was 18 at the time, attempted to shoot a man during a physical altercation and pointed the gun at someone else before running from law enforcement.
Police said Rambo fired a gun at them after he was hit with a Taser. After Rambo’s gun went off, police shot him 14 times.
He lost both legs as a result of the shooting.
This is a developing story.
