On October 26, 2006 at approximately 4:15 P.M. the Post Falls Police Department was advised of a shooting into an occupied dwelling that had occurred earlier in the day, at approximately 9:00 A.M.  The shooting occurred at 1905 E. Meadow Lane , in Post Falls . The residents of the home did not contact the Police Department when the shooting occurred; the incident was reported later in the afternoon, by a witness who had been walking in the neighborhood at the time of the shooting. The witness observed the suspected vehicle pull into the driveway, heard gunfire and observed the vehicle drive away. The witness contacted the Police Department at 4:15 P.M. to report the incident.

The witness described the suspect vehicle as a champagne colored Sport Utility Vehicle (SUV). The vehicle reportedly stopped in front of the residence and fired approximately three – five rapid fire shots toward the residence and left the scene.  No further description was given on the vehicle at this time.

Upon arrival to the victim residence, officers located two gunshots in the garage door.  Repeated attempts were made to contact someone at the residence.  After a short time two subjects were detained attempting to leave the residence.  A female was located inside the residence, hiding under the home in the crawl space, and was taken into custody for an outstanding felony warrant. Emily Vigne (20 yoa) was arrested on an outstanding felony warrant from Spokane County for possession of a controlled substance and third degree theft.

No one was injured during the shooting.

The investigation is continuing and anyone with information is asked to contact the Post Falls Police Department at 773-3517.
