One person is in custody but an investigation is ongoing after four people were fatally shot at an Idaho residence.
The shooting occurred at a home in Kellogg, a small mountain town about 36 miles east of Coeur d’Alene in the northwest part of the state, around 7:30 p.m., according to KXLY. Officers from the Kellogg Police and the Shoshone County Sheriff’s Office responded and discovered four people dead from gunshot wounds and detained the 31-year-old suspect.
The identities of the victims and the suspect have not yet been released.
The Idaho State Police is leading the investigation.
“Law enforcement believes everyone connected with this incident are accounted for, and there is no additional threat to the community,” the state police said in a news release late Sunday night.
The shooting occurred roughly seven months after four University of Idaho students were stabbed to death at an off-campus home in Moscow. After several weeks of investigation, suspect Bryan Kohberger was arrested and is set to go on trial in the fall.
According to the Gun Violence Archive, there have already been 315 mass shootings (where at least four people are shot, excluding the shooter) in the U.S. in 2023.
Several such shootings occurred over the weekend, including a fatal one at a music festival in Washington state, separate shootings at Juneteenth celebrations in Illinois and North Carolina as well as shootings at parties in St. Louis and southern California.
