Two shootings in two days, and the smoke you'll see this week

A Post Falls officer shooting left one person dead, and a man fired at a volunteer outside a Coeur d'Alene food bank. Here is what police have said, and what the planned fires are.

Here is what police and fire agencies in Kootenai County have reported since Nov. 1. Nothing in this story comes from anyone but the agencies and the news outlets named below.

POST FALLS: ONE PERSON DIES AFTER AN OFFICER SHOOTING

At about 6:30 a.m. Sunday, Nov. 1, Post Falls police went to the 1900 block of Foxglove Lane after a report of a suicidal person who was also threatening to hurt family members, the department said in a release.

Shortly after officers arrived, "an officer-involved shooting occurred," the release said. Officers started CPR. Kootenai County Fire and Rescue took the person to Kootenai Health, where they died.

The Kootenai County Sheriff's Office is leading the investigation. Post Falls police said they are releasing nothing more for now and asked that questions go to the Sheriff's Office. Police have not named the person or the officer.

COEUR D'ALENE: SHOT FIRED AT A FOOD BANK VOLUNTEER

At about 10:15 a.m. Monday, Nov. 2, Coeur d'Alene police went to the Community Action Partnership food bank in the 4100 block of West Industrial Loop after a report of a shooting, according to a police release reported by the Coeur d'Alene Press.

Police said a man sitting in his vehicle in the parking lot argued with a volunteer who came over about how the vehicle was parked. Police said the man fired one round at the volunteer from inside the vehicle. It missed, and no one was hurt.

Police said the man left, then called law enforcement himself, and officers detained him. Joshua Aaron Cox of Hayden was booked into the Kootenai County jail on one count of aggravated assault. Police said he stayed in his vehicle the whole time and had chances to leave before he fired. A charge is an accusation, not a finding of guilt.

Police said the investigation is ongoing and asked anyone with information to contact the Coeur d'Alene Police Department.

SMOKE YOU'LL SEE, AND WHY IT'S NOT AN EMERGENCY

Smoke is likely to be visible from Coeur d'Alene. Last week the Forest Service also burned piles in Bottom Canyon, east of Hayden Lake, and north of Fernan Saddle, the Press reported.
- Hayden, Tuesday, Nov. 10, from 8 a.m.: firefighters are running a live-fire training on East Honeysuckle Avenue, KXLY reported. Expect fire trucks and smoke.
