The city of Coeur d'Alene and its police department announced Thursday that the results of internal and external investigations into the shooting death of Arfee, the black Labrador, will be released today to members of the media. It has been nearly two months since a Coeur d'Alene police officer - responding to a report of a suspicious van parked outside a Sherman Avenue coffee house - fired a shot through the window of the van, killing the pet dog inside. The animal's owner, Craig Jones, was inside Java on Sherman at the time, unaware of what was unfolding outside. He returned to his vehicle to find a broken window, a note from the police to call them about his dog, and no dog/Maureen Dolan, Coeur d'Alene Press. More here
