Officer Lee Newbill was shot and killed in a planned attack on law enforcement.
The suspect fired into an emergency dispatch center inside the Latah County Courthouse, intending to lure people into the line of fire. Officer Newbill was killed as he rushed to the courthouse to assist. A deputy helped pull the officer out of the way before being shot and wounded.
The suspect then fled to a nearby church, where he murdered a citizen and later committed suicide as officers surrounded the church.

Most Recent Reflection
View all 458 ReflectionsI served under Captain Lee Newbill in Germany in the late eighties. I had a blast being his driver for the REFORGER (Return of forces to Germany) exercise. It was nice to have a man I knew was my boss that could treat you like a friend. I heard of his passing awhile ago, but recently thought of Lee again and wanted to write something. I don't have Facebook and thought this was probably the best way to reach out. My thoughts and prayers to the family and friends of Lee. RIP my friend.
