Four University of Idaho students found dead in an off-campus home were targeted, and the killer or killers used a knife or other 'edged weapon' in the attack police said Tuesday.
The university canceled classes on Monday, and said additional security staffers were available to walk students across campus if needed during the remainder of the week.
A vigil for the slain students originally scheduled for Wednesday evening has been postponed until after Thanksgiving break, University of Idaho spokesman Kyle Pfannenstiel said in an email Tuesday. "Words cannot adequately describe the light these students brought to this world or ease the depth of suffering we feel at their passing under these tragic circumstances," Green wrote of the slain students.
Brian Nickerson, the fire chief of the Moscow Volunteer Fire and EMS Department, said police were the first to arrive at the home. The first responders from the fire and EMS department didn’t go inside or transport anyone from the scene, Nickerson said.
