Court documents say a man told investigators he used a gun hidden in his pocket to kill an Idaho police officer because he feared the officer would find the weapon.
The records released Wednesday say 26-year-old Jonathan Renfro told authorities he shot Coeur d'Alene police Sgt. Greg Moore on Tuesday and then stole his patrol car.
Renfro said he used methamphetamine the day before the shooting, which was recorded by the officer's body camera.
Documents say the footage shows Moore falling and Renfro's face coming into the frame. He then searches the officer. Renfro moves out of the frame, and a car door is heard shutting and a vehicle driving away.
Moore was checking on a suspicious person when he was gunned down about 1:30 a.m. Tuesday. He died that evening.
