Dozens of police officers and firefighters from throughout Spokane and Kootenai counties took time today to escort a fallen comrade, Coeur d’Alene Police Sgt. Greg Moore, across the state line and back home. All along the route, hundreds of people stood with flags and solemn faces as the long procession passed. Fire trucks parked on an Interstate 90 overpass and raised a ladder in salute to Moore, who was shot on duty early Tuesday morning and died that evening at Kootenai Health. This morning his body was transported from Providence Holy Family Hospital in Spokane, where an autopsy was performed Wednesday, back to Coeur d’Alene, arriving at English Funeral Chapel in Midtown/ Scott Maben , SR.
