East Idaho has experienced a rash of recent unrelated incidents of gun violence, resulting in three fatalities, including the Feb. 8 death of an Idaho Falls man who an unidentified officer reportedly mistook for a suspect.
On Sunday afternoon, a suspect whose identity has not been disclosed was killed when law enforcement officers returned his fire during a standoff in the Rose-Firth area, police said.
On Sunday night, area authorities also wrapped up one of the most intense manhunts in Southeast Idahoâs history when they nabbed 43-year-old Richard âRockyâ Iverson, of Blackfoot, who was allegedly involved in a Saturday night shootout with U.S. Marshals that claimed the life of another suspect.
