A Coeur d’Alene police officer shot this morning in the line of duty has died at the hospital with his family at his side. Sgt. Greg Moore, a 16-year veteran of the Coeur d’Alene Police Department, spent most of the day in critical condition after he was shot in the head by a suspect who then stole the officer’s patrol car and fled the scene. Police said in a news release this evening that Moore, a husband and father of two, died at 5:50 p.m. at Kootenai Health. “Words cannot adequately express the level of mourning we feel for Sergeant Moore’s family and our law enforcement family,” the police news release said. Mayor Steve Widmyer said, “Our community has been wounded; and in some ways it may never be the same. We have lost a great man. Over time our community will heal, but we will always bear a scar and we will never forget the bravery and sacrifice of Sergeant Greg Moore”/Scott Maben, SR. More here.
