Pastor shot outside his residence…..
Aug 30, 2010 – A Spokane Valley pastor who was shot outside his home last week was remembered as a community leader who loved God as much as his garden during a service held Monday morning at his former church.
Pastor Creach was shot and killed by a Spokane Valley Police Officer on Thursday night after the officer responded to a report of a prowler in the area. An altercation occurred shortly after 11 o’clock at night and Creach was shot with a single bullet.
Police identified the officer involved as Deputy Brian Hirzel, a veteran law enforcement officer with more than a dozen years of experience in California, Idaho and Washington.
The shooting remains under investigation by the Spokane Police Department and Washington State Patrol.
