Prosecutor comments on Spirit Lake shooting
Kootenai County Prosecuting Attorney Stanley Mortensen
The blind Spirit Lake woman fatally shot by police after firing her own weapon last year sustained nine gunshot wounds, according to a news release published Thursday by Kootenai County Prosecuting Attorney Stan Mortensen.
The detail comes almost three weeks after Mortensen said the officer who shot and killed 67-year-old S.A. Floyd in her apartment while conducting a welfare check committed no crimes.
The news release gave insight into the silence from prosecutors between the November 2023 shooting and the Feb. 9 news conference where law enforcement publicly released body camera footage from the event.
