This is from a local report in Idaho.
Hours after two firefighters were ambushed and fatally shot while responding to a blaze on Canfield Mountain, authorities announced that the suspected shooter was found dead on the burning mountain.
The suspect has not been publicly identified. His background and motives remain under investigation, police said. Authorities believe the suspect set the fire intentionally and acted alone.
“This was a total ambush,” Kootenai County Sheriff Bob Norris said during a Sunday night news conference in Hayden. “These firefighters did not have a chance.”
