Family feared past behavior of active shooter killed in Wallace sheriff’s office, records show

Minutes before an active shooter barricaded himself in a North Idaho sheriff’s office lobby, two women took note of an older man with a long, white beard walking down the street with a gun strapped to his chest and commenting he wanted to kill cops. As they walked along Bank Street in downtown Wallace on Dec. 26, they hoped to duck into the restroom in the Shoshone County Sheriff’s Office. The same man muttering he wanted to kill police appeared at the sheriff’s office, and he was pointing the weapon right at the women. They tried to flee as bullets hit their legs.
