2 Firefighters Killed in Idaho Sniper Ambush

Law enforcement officers exchanged fire with the gunman while the wildfire burned. Officials later found the body of a male suspect on the mountain with a firearm nearby, Sheriff Robert Norris of Kootenai County said at a news conference on Sunday night. The authorities said they believed the suspect had acted alone, but they did not release any information about his identity or motives.

“This was a total ambush,” Sheriff Norris said. “These firefighters did not have a chance.”
