[Vision2020] tragedy

[Tom Ivie]

This is a sad day for Moscow.  Our family is a big fan of our police department and we thank them for serving us.  It is not an easy job and can be a very dangerous one.  If anything good can come from this horrific event, I hope that it can unite our citizens and bring us together, that we not be so divided and divisive, and that we take the time to realize how great of a community that we truly do live in -in spite of it all.

Deputy Brannon Jordan of the LCSO is in serious condition with multiple gunshot wounds.  The presumed shooter was found dead in the sanctuary of the Presbyterian Church, along with another unidentified man.  The church caretaker, who lives in an apartment inside the church building, has not been accounted for.  A third man shot last night as he walked through the area is in serious condition at Gritman and also is unidentified.

My condolences to the Newbill family, along with the families of Dep. Jordan, the unidentified civilian shot last night, the man found dead in the church, and the sniper himself.  And thank God for the bravery of our police officers and deputies, as well as the paramedics and EMTs and the LCSO dispatchers who witnessed much of the rampage.

What a horrible, horrible thing to have happen.
