ATTN: Residents of Kootenai County. This is an Urgent Alert to be on the lookout for eight armed men who shot a man on the 4th of July.

Reputable sources have told this news organization that these men are armed and dangerous. They were last seen in black and white Ford SUV’s and passenger vehicles. These men have been known to hold other human beings at gun point and shoot them if they do not comply with their demands. Citizens should be particularly careful when walking at night as these men tend to wear dark black or navy blue clothing. They may even attempt to gain your trust with their impeccable grooming and well pressed suits. If you see these men, do not attempt to approach them. Instead, simply lay on the ground and begin to pray. They may still shoot you, but if you are white and Christian your chances of survival increase.

It’s unknown what these men want, but in the past they have been known to cage their victims for long periods of time. It’s unclear whether the caging is sexually motivated or not. At times, they’ve been known to let their victims out of the cage after procuring large sums of money from them. Most people refer to this practice as “ransom” or “extortion” but these gang members appear to have their own language where they have renamed crimes against humanity in order to make them sound more palatable. These attempts to downplay their crimes could be a sign of a serious break with societal norms and could even indicate a mental break. This makes these men even more dangerous.

These men appear not to allow women in their gang. Some have suggested that this may be due to extreme misogyny or bias. Minorities should use extreme caution as their most recent gang violence involved shooting a mixed race man multiple times. This shooting resulted in the amputation of the man’s legs.

Once again, this is a Community Alert for Kootenai County and Coeur D Alene, Idaho. Please be on the lookout for the following eight men who are considered armed and dangerous:
