Update: Docs Detail Officer Slaying

Jonathan Daniel Renfro told investigators Tuesday that he shot Coeur d’Alene Police Sgt. Greg Moore with his 9 mm Glock pistol because he had the gun in his pocket and knew the officer was going to find it, court records say. The suspect in the officer’s slaying also admitted to police that he used hydrocodone and methamphetamine the day before the attack in a northwest Coeur d’Alene residential neighborhood, according to an account of Renfro’s interview with investigators. Moore died Tuesday evening at Kootenai Health. He is the first Coeur d’Alene police officer to be killed in the line of duty. Court documents offer a chilling account of the confrontation based on investigators’ viewing of Moore’s body camera footage, which captured both video and audio/, Scott Maben, SR. More here.
