POCATELLO \u2014 The Bannock County Coroner\u2019s Office has identified the man who was shot and killed by police on Friday, after allegedly shooting four other people \u2014 killing two \u2014 on Tank Farm Road in Power County.<\/p>\n
Richard Todd Forrest, 63, of Pocatello, is the man who was shot and killed by law enforcement officers, according to a Wednesday news release from Bannock County.<\/p>\n
On Friday afternoon, emergency dispatchers received a report that three people had been shot on Tank Farm Road, about a mile north of the Simplot plant. Upon arrival, Power County deputies found two people deceased and one injured. <\/p>\n
Officers from multiple agencies, including Pocatello police and Bannock County Sheriff\u2019s Office, were called in to help search for the gunman. A police tactical team tried to negotiate with Forrest, the suspected gunman, but \u201cultimately, the suspect made a lethal threat towards that team, and that team responded to this lethal threat. The suspect was deceased at that time,\u201d Bannock County Sheriff Tony Manu said.<\/p>\n
RELATED | What we know so far about the Tank Farm Road shootings<\/a> <\/p>\n \u201cI would say that the nature of this incident today is unprecedented,\u201d Power County Sheriff Kasey Kendall said in a press conference late Friday. \u201cThis is not something we typically deal with or handle on a routine or a regular basis.\u201d<\/p>\n The coroner\u2019s office previously released the identities of the two people initially shot and killed: Brandon Lee Madden, 40, and Amanda Ann Christian, 36, both of Pocatello. The identity of a third person shot alongside Madden and Christian remains unknown, but deputies said that person was in stable condition at the hospital.<\/p>\n A bystander who was on a boat on the Portneuf River was also shot by Forrest, the sheriff\u2019s office said. That person\u2019s identity has not been released by law enforcement, but investigators said he had been released from the hospital.<\/p>\n
