Hundreds of people gathered in a Coeur d’Alene parking lot Tuesday evening to pray, sing “Amazing Grace,” shed tears and show their support for police following a deadly attack on a highly respected and decorated police officer. The outpouring of grief and appreciation for Coeur d’Alene police Sgt. Greg Moore, who died from a gunshot wound about an hour before the candlelight vigil began, touched police Chief Lee White. “This is not something we see all across the U.S.,” White told the crowd, which included city and school district employees, elected officials, officers from around the region, church leaders and many others. “I am truly grateful to be a part of this community.” White, who was hired as chief last year, said he knew Moore only a short time, “but he was one of the first people I met when I came to this city. … He truly cared about this city, and he died doing something that he absolutely loved”/Scott Maben, SR.
