KELLOGG, Idaho — A gag order has been issued for the case regarding the deadly shooting in Kellogg, Idaho that took the lives of four people.
31-year-old MajorJon A. Kaylor has been charged with four counts of first-degree murder and burglary for the deaths of four of his neighbors at an apartment complex.
According to the gag order, both prosecuting and defense attorneys in the case are prohibited from making statements that "will have a substantial likelihood of materially prejudicing or otherwise influencing the outcome of the case."

In a criminal complaint filed prior to the shooting, Kaylor's wife had posted on Facebook about an inappropriate incident involving one of the shooting victims. Kaylor's wife claimed that they had engaged in inappropriate behavior in front of her and her children.
