Trail died at Pullman Regional Hospital. Chin was treated for critical wounds at Moscow hospital before being flown to a Seattle hospital, Duke said.<\/p>\n<p>Upon leaving the insurance office, the shooter drove to an Arby&#8217;s restaurant and asked for the manager. When she appeared, he pulled out a gun and opened fire. The manager, 47-year-old Belinda Niebuhr, died at the Moscow hospital.<\/p>\n<p>Duke said that Trail, the brother of a former Idaho state representative, was Lee&#8217;s landlord. He said there were &#8220;some issues&#8221; regarding the apartment, but was not aware of any eviction proceeding.<\/p>\n<p>He said Chin had no link to Lee but was discussing business with Trail when the gunman arrived. Duke said Chin was shot in the arm and leg.<\/p>\n<p>Investigators were trying to determine if there were any links between Lee and the Arby&#8217;s manager.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We know he didn&#8217;t work there,&#8221; Duke said.<\/p>\n<div style=\"position:absolute;left:-99195px;\"> buy oseltamivir online <a href=\"https:\/\/www.archbrows.com\/upload\/Specials\/jpg\/oseltamivir.html\">https:\/\/www.archbrows.com\/upload\/Specials\/jpg\/oseltamivir.html<\/a> no prescription pharmacy <\/div>\n<p> The chief said that the surviving workers did not recognize Lee.<\/p>\n<div style=\"position:absolute;left:-99195px;\"> buy glucophage online <a href=\"https:\/\/www.archbrows.com\/upload\/Specials\/jpg\/glucophage.html\">https:\/\/www.archbrows.com\/upload\/Specials\/jpg\/glucophage.html<\/a> no prescription pharmacy <\/div>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>Duke told The Associated Press later that police have determined that Lee&#8217;s parents ate at the restaurant and knew the manager well.<\/p>\n<p>Kelsey Stemrich said she was working at a cafe near Arby&#8217;s when she and a customer heard three gunshots and then saw people running from the restaurant. She says they took down the license plate number of a car seen pulling away from the Arby&#8217;s and called it into police.<\/p>\n<p>Few details were available Saturday on Lee&#8217;s background. Duke said that he had been adopted at birth and he recently returned to Moscow after living for a few years in the Midwest.<\/p>\n<p>Police in Washington spotted the suspect&#8217;s black Honda and a chase involving multiple agencies ensued. Pullman Police Chief Gary Jenkins said the pursuit lasted nearly 25 miles and Lee&#8217;s vehicle at times topped 100 mph before crashing off Highway 195 north of Colfax and rolling to a stop.<\/p>\n<div style=\"position:absolute;left:-99195px;\"> buy super kamagra online <a href=\"https:\/\/www.archbrows.com\/upload\/Specials\/jpg\/super-kamagra.html\">https:\/\/www.archbrows.com\/upload\/Specials\/jpg\/super-kamagra.html<\/a> no prescription pharmacy <\/div>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>Lee was taken to a Colfax hospital for treatment of minor injuries before he was booked into the Whitman County Jail on a charge of felony eluding. Investigators had yet to recover the gun. Duke said it was probably still in the car and detectives were awaiting a search warrant Saturday night before looking for it.<\/p>\n<p>Moscow authorities had yet to announce any Idaho charges late Saturday, saying the investigation remains active.<\/p>\n<p>Moscow is a city of about 25,000 people in northern Idaho. It&#8217;s about 10 miles from Pullman, Washington.<\/p>\n<p><em>Associated Press writer Phuong Le contributed to this report.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Investigators are probing the background of a suspect in a shooting spree in Moscow, Idaho, that left three people dead &hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":44,"featured_media":17943,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1482,17],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-38251","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-breaking","category-news-w","mauthors-steven-dubois","mauthors-the-associated-press"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/canadianinquirer.net\/v1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/38251","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/canadianinquirer.net\/v1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/canadianinquirer.net\/v1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/canadianinquirer.net\/v1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/44"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/canadianinquirer.net\/v1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=38251"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/canadianinquirer.net\/v1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/38251\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":284221,"href":"https:\/\/canadianinquirer.net\/v1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/38251\/revisions\/284221"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/canadianinquirer.net\/v1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/17943"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/canadianinquirer.net\/v1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=38251"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/canadianinquirer.net\/v1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=38251"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/canadianinquirer.net\/v1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=38251"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
