“For desolation and destruction are in our streets and terror danced before us,” said Jodie Tooley of the United Church of Moscow as she read from the Litany during a candlelight vigil held for the victims, family and community of Moscow, Idaho, in the aftermath of Saturday’s shooting.

“Our hearts faint; our knees tremble; our bodies quake; our faces grow pale,” she continued.

The pews of First United Methodist Church in Moscow were full, with more attendees sitting and standing in the back. Moscow Interfaith held the service.

Host Pastor Susan E. Ostrom said the vigil offered “a chance of being together and a chance to grieve together.”

An Idaho arrest warrant has been issued for John Lee of Moscow, who is currently being held in the Whitman County Jail. Lee recently changed his name from Cain Grzebielski before moving from Moscow to the Midwest. He returned to Moscow last year. The warrant is for three counts of first degree murder and one count of attempted first degree murder.

Idaho authorities are working to extradite Lee back to Moscow. This process will continue after he makes his first appearance in Whitman County Superior Court where he was booked under felony of eluding after he led law enforcement on a high-speed car chase in Whitman County. The chase ended when Lee crashed near Steptoe.

Police found five guns inside Lee’s vehicle: two semi-automatic handguns, one revolver, one shotgun and one rifle.

“I shook for about the first 30 minutes (after hearing the news),” Rev. Elizabeth Stephens said. “It was hard to hear. The first thing I did was go down to my church and open the doors for people.”

In the aftermath of the shooting, “there’s a sense of ‘how could something like this happen here?’ A whole ball of complicated feelings,” Stephens said.

Mayor Bill Lambert took the pulpit during the vigil, saying, “It’s been a tough 28 hours for us.” Lambert commended local authorities’ handling of the situation and emphasized that Moscow is a safe community.

“This community will rise because we are a strong community,” Lambert said.

Nearing the end of the service, ushers lit candles while the choir sang. Hundreds of tiny flames flickered as attendees raised their candles for the benediction.

Many attendees knew the victims personally.

John and Cyndie McCabe have lived in Moscow for 32 years and knew Lee before he changed his name.

“We used to live close to the Grzebielskis, so we know them,” John said. “Their son (Lee) is the same age as our son.”

The McCabes only knew Lee when he was young, however, Cyndie said he was “quiet, but never violent or destructive.”

Chris Vaughn, who shared a prayer from the Baha’i Faith, said before the vigil, “it’s traumatic to us.”

“It’s a small community,” John said. “Any time a tragedy like this happens, it’s devastating.”

The participants in the service said community is very important during a tragedy like this.

“A sense of solidarity and family is as healing as anything in these first few days,” Tooley said after the service.

Moscow Police Chief David Duke said 39-year-old Michael Chin of Seattle, the only surviving victim of the shooting spree on Saturday, has been stabilized in a hospital in Spokane. Chin was flown to Spokane from Lewiston Saturday night after first being treated at Gritman Medical Center in Moscow.
