Donations, Tributes Pour In

Blue porch lights were sold out, store fronts painted, marquees were dedicated and fundraisers formed all over Kootenai County Wednesday. This is all in memory of Coeur d'Alene Police Sgt. Greg Moore, who was killed in the line of duty on Tuesday. Almost $60,000 in direct donations were raised for Moore's family in less than 24 hours. Addison Arce, director of the Kootenai County Police and Fire Memorial Foundation, said the foundation established two charitable funds to benefit Moore's wife, Lindy. One account, in Moore's name, has been established at Umpqua Bank at 1106 E. Sherman Ave. As of 3:30 p.m. on Wednesday, Arce said walk-in contributions totaled more than $16,000 in cash/Jeff Selle, Coeur d'Alene Press. More here.
