The Kootenai County Sheriff's Office said the shooting occurred after Shoshone County dispatch received a call for a welfare check on an orange Scion parked peculiarly in an eastbound about a mile west of Lookout Pass. A Shoshone deputy arrived at the scene with the ISP officer as backup, and while talking Mandarino, the two officers discovered the driver was in possession of a handgun. A struggle to take the gun ensued, and the ISP officer shot and killed Mandarino.
