No Plea For Triple Murder Suspect
A man suspected in the shooting deaths of his adoptive mother and two others in Idaho made an initial court appearance Monday in Washington, where he was ordered held on $500,000 bail. John Lee, 29, appeared in Whitman County Superior Court in Colfax and was charged with eluding law enforcement officers, a felony that arose from a high-speed chase into Washington after authorities say he killed three people and wounded a man in Moscow, Idaho, on Saturday. Lee did not enter a plea. Idaho authorities have issued a separate arrest warrant for Lee, of Moscow, for investigation of three counts of first-degree murder and one count of attempted murder. Idaho authorities will seek extradition/Associated Press. More here. (AP photo: Mourners place flowers on a memorial for manager Belinda Niebuhr outside Arby’s Restaurant in Moscow Monday)
