30-year-old Christian Forslof Charged With Murder in Lapwai Shooting
LAPWAI, Idaho — A woman is dead and a man injured following a shooting Friday evening in Lapwai, according to the Nez Perce County Sheriff’s Office.
Deputies were dispatched around 5:24 p.m. to a residence in the 1100 block of Thunder Hill Road after a caller reported that two individuals, a male and a female, had been at the property and may have broken into a shed.
While deputies were en route, the caller reported that her fiancé had shot both individuals.
A Nez Perce Tribal Police officer arrived on scene first and detained the suspected shooter — 30-year-old Christian Forslof — without incident.
Responding deputies and medics discovered both victims suffering from gunshot wounds to their upper bodies.
The female victim was pronounced dead at the scene, while the male victim was transported by ambulance to St. Joseph Regional Medical Center for treatment.
Investigators say Forslof believed the pair had entered a shed on his property. After the individuals left, he allegedly pursued them approximately a quarter of a mile from his residence and attempted to detain them at gunpoint.
Authorities confirmed that neither victim was armed.
According to the Sheriff’s Office, a verbal confrontation ensued during which Forslof fired multiple shots after the female victim pointed her finger at him and advanced toward him.
Forslof was arrested and booked into the Nez Perce County Adult Detention Center on charges of second-degree murder and attempted second-degree murder.
The identities of the victims are being withheld pending family notification.
The case remains under active investigation.
Anyone with information is asked to contact Lt. Jason Leavitt or Detective Wendy King at the Nez Perce County Sheriff’s Office by calling 208-799-3130.
