ID: shot in the supermarket

From the Twin Falls Times-News:

Man shot, killed by T.F. police

Shoppers were turned away from WinCo Foods Saturday afternoon after a shooting at the store. Two officers were called to WinCo at about 2 p.m. to pick up a shoplifter detained by the store's loss prevention employees... At 2:13 p.m., the officers reported that shots had been fired in the building, and requested an ambulance.

Logan Brizee, 19, of Declo was taken to St. Luke's Magic Valley Regional Medical Center where he was pronounced dead... The police department would not release any
more information Saturday night, and did not say if Brizee had a weapon...


Updates: News and video from KMVT, KTVB and KIVI, each with a slightly different twist. Look for the word "methamphetamine" to appear in follow-up news stories.

A shoplifting suspect at WinCo Foods pointed a loaded .38-caliber revolver at two police officers, who then opened fire and killed him Saturday afternoon... Brizzee faced a felony warrant for his arrest for failing to appear in court on a Minidoka County robbery charge...

Brizzee "rapidly stood up, backed away from the officers and pulled a handgun from his waistband and pointed at the officers while in very close proximity," said a police press release. "At that time, both officers pulled their weapons and fired..."
