KOOTENAI COUNTY, Idaho – The Idaho State Police are investigating a shooting that left a Coeur d’Alene police officer in critical condition early Tuesday morning.
Coeur d’Alene Police Chief Lee White speaking at the press conference said, at approximately 1:35 a.m. Tuesday morning, Sergeant Greg Moore was shot at the 2800 block of West Wilbur Ave.
Moore is in “very critical condition” at Kootenai Health, and is fighting for his life, according to White.
According to police, Sgt. Moore, a 16-year veteran of the force, was making a traffic stop around 1:35 a.m. Sgt. Moore called in the suspect as a suspicious person. When Moore was calling in his info to dispatch, police said he was shot.
The suspect, identified by police at the press conference as Jonathan Renfro, 26, has an extensive criminal history authorities said.
Officials said Renfro then got in Moore’s patrol car and fled. He was found hiding underneath a semi-truck near the Post Falls Walmart parking lot by K9 units shortly before 5:00 a.m.
Police said the call for help did not come from Sgt. Moore, but rather a citizen who heard the shot and saw Moore’s body lying in the street.
White said the shooting was not an ambush.
“This does not look like an ambush attack,” White said. “This is a bad guy doing bad things.”
Police said they are working on two scenes near Pointe Parkway. The Beck Road overpass is still closed, and police said it will remain closed for most of the day.
Around 6:30 a.m. police began removing police tape from Wilbur Avenue.
The Post Falls Police Department said if you work at Cabela’s or Walmart at the State Line to take Seltice to Baugh Way where police are allowing limited entry.
The investigation is ongoing. Police said they will hold a second press conference around 11:00 a.m.

One man…does this mean that HTNWO and FTT are going to be monopolized by rambling nonsense calls from Bill?
I may have to hit the archives today.
“This does not look like an ambush attack,” White said. “This is a bad guy doing bad things.”
BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! RLMAO!!!!!
Bad man… BAD MAN!!!
“Moore is in “very critical condition” at Kootenai Health, and is fighting for his life, according to White.”
Great news! Let’s hope for the same result that the NYPD pig just experienced.
If Moore was a good cop, serving and protecting the public, I wish him a fast and total recovery. We need you back on duty ASAP.
If Moore is the typical bat-sh*t crazy, rambo-wannabe that appears daily in the news, I wish him a rapid journey to the light. You won’t be missed.
In both of the last 2 articles I have just read, as well as 90% of other “officer-involved shootings”, it seems the ones in uniform are the ones who initiate the altercation. If they would stop pulling over motorists and accosting pedestrians, seems to me there would be less of them shot.
B.T.W:
Accost;
To accost is to approach someone aggressively or confront them in an inappropriate way.
Accost describes a confrontation — one that’s often aggressive in nature.
It is dishonorable to accost one who is doing no harm.
