Moscow, Idaho - Moscow police have a gunman, who shot one civilian and two police officers Saturday night, pinned down in a church a police spokesman said Sunday.

David Duke, the assistant Moscow police chief, did not release the status of the three victims.

However, Susan Waltz, a police dispatch supervisor, said that a female civilian had survived the attack. She had been transported to Pullman Regional Hospital, and is in stable condition, Waltz said.

There was no immediate description of the shooter, Duke said. Although police did not have a positive identification of the suspect's location, they believed he may be holed up in a Presbyterian church in downtown Moscow near where the shootings occurred, Duke said.
