The officer involved shooting protocol was invoked, and the Spokane Independent Investigative Response Team (SIIR) will handle the investigation. The SIIR team is comprised of multiple law enforcement agencies; the Washington State Patrol will be the managing agency for this incident. As required, the Spokane Police Department will not be involved in the investigation to ensure an independent inquiry is conducted.
All future information related to the incident will come from the SIIR team, with the exception of identifying the officers involved which SPD will release in the coming days. The involved officers have been placed on administrative leave which is standard procedure.
E Desmet, between Stone and Smith will remain closed for several hours as the investigation continues.
