BOISE, Idaho (AP) - Gov. C.L. “Butch” Otter is calling for a moment of silence to remember three Moscow victims killed in a north-central Idaho shooting.

Otter on Tuesday called for the moment of silence at 1 p.m. Mountain Time on Wednesday.

Twenty-nine-year-old John Lee is in custody in Whitman County, Washington.



Authorities say Lee shot and killed three Moscow residents and wounded another man before leading police on a chase that ended in Whitman County.

Authorities say Lee shot and killed 76-year-old David Trail, 47-year-old Belinda Niebuhr and 61-year-old Terri Grzebielski, his adoptive mother, at separate locations in Moscow.

No motive has been established.
