Suspect in Jan. 10 shooting returns to Latah County
Latah County Jail officials confirmed Monday that John Lee, the suspect in the Jan. 10 shooting that left three dead in Moscow, has been extradited and is in Idaho.

Jail officials said Lee will make an appearance in court Tuesday.
Lee faces three counts of first-degree murder and one count of attempted murder in Latah County.
Steve Martonick, Lee’s court-appointed lawyer in Whitman County, said he signed a motion from Whitman County Prosecutor Denis Tracy Friday to drop Lee’s felony eluding charge in Washington.
Since the signed motion was without prejudice, Lee could face the felony eluding charge in Washington at a future date if the Latah County charges are dropped.
