Deputy In Pastor Shooting On Vacay

The deputy who fatally shot a Spokane Valley pastor last week has been unavailable for interviews with detectives probing the tragic shooting death because he reportedly was allowed to leave town for a scheduled weeklong vacation instead. The new details began emerging late Tuesday, when family members of Pastor Wayne Scott Creach said they’d been told by detectives in charge of the investigation that Deputy Brian Hirzel was allowed by Sheriff Ozzie Knezovich to proceed with his vacation plans rather than meet with investigators as soon as possible. Knezovich nor the Spokane Police Department, which is in charge of the shooting probe, has responded to requests for interviews on this topic/ Thomas Clouse , SR. More here .

Question: Did Spokane County Sheriff Ozzie Knezovich do the right thing by delaying the investigation into the shooting of a prominent Spokane Valley pastor for a week while the deputy involved takes a scheduled vacation?
