SPIRIT LAKE, Idaho — The blind Spirit Lake woman fatally shot by police after firing her own weapon last year sustained nine gunshot wounds, according to a news released 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.
