Second deputy home after being shot
January 23, 2017
Bonner County Deputy Michael Gagnon, 53, went home today from Kootenai Health, one week after being shot three times in a shootout in Blanchard last Monday.

Gagnon was one of two deputies shot on while attempting to serve a warrant on Adam Foster in Blanchard January 16, and the most seriously injured.

Foster was also shot in the exchange of gunfire and remains at Kootenai Health, where he is listed in good condition.

Deputy Justin Penn, 30, was released from Kootenai Health on Friday.

As on Friday, peace officers and emergency service providers drove in a long procession today to escort Gagnon from the hospital in Coeur d'Alene to his home and family in Bonner County.
