The man who turned fire on the intentionThe crew ambush on SundayHe was sitting in a sniper position, shooting at firefighters. The authorities said they had passed away behind firefighters, but two died and a third wounded during a barrage of shooting for several hours.
The first respondents made urgent calls to help their radio devices at Canfield Mountain north of Coeur D’Alne: “Everyone has shot here … Send for law enforcement now,” according to one of the transmission.
A helicopter plane in the area, gunmen with ready -made snipers, was close to removing the suspect if necessary, while the FBI used his mobile phone data to follow and ordered the sheriff to be in place. They eventually found the suspect dead in the mountains, and his fiery weapon is next to it.
It is not known how he died, and the authorities have not yet revealed a motive.
The Associated Press Law Office said on Monday that the suspect was determined as Wesss Roly. The official spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not allowed to discuss the investigation.
“We believe that the suspect started fire, and we think it was an ambush and was intended,” Sharif Coutinai Bob Norris said at a press conference on Sunday night. “Firefighters had no chance.”
Norris said that the wounded firefighters “are fighting for his life” after the surgery and was in a stable condition.

Norris said: “When you have an environment in which you do not know where lead comes from trees, shrubs and what you have, this is hard for police officers, not to mention firefighters,” Norris said.
The grandfather of Del Delli, KXly-TV, stated that his grandson was a thirsty sneaking working in a tree company and was interested in the forest.
The flow of support to the victims was quickly in Coeur D’Alne, a city of 55,000 residents near the border with Washington.
Hours after an ambush, people gathered along the 90th highway who carry American flags to pay their respect as the bodies of two fallen firefighters were transported to the medical examiner office in Spokan, Washington, about 35 miles (56 km) from Cor Deline.
The governor of the state, Brad Little, ordered us on Monday with their urgency and the flags of the state of Idahu to half of the employees to honor the firefighters until the day after their memorial service.
“All our public safety employees, especially our firefighters, are facing a brave risk on a daily basis, but we have never seen a heinous act of violence like this on our firefighters before,” he said in a statement. “This is not the state of Idaho. This indescribable loss feels deeply by everyone in the firefighting community and beyond.”
“We are terrified of the killing of two firefighters at Coeur d’Alne, and they were shocked by an evil attack on the first respondents,” said the Republican leadership at Idaho House in a statement.
Although shelter was raised in place, Sharif’s office warned residents against preparing because the fire was still burning. The Ministry of Land in the state of Idaho said in a press statement that the firefighters were still fighting the fire on Monday, a difficult task because it was burning in the sharp terrain, which limited the use of heavy equipment. It burned about 26 acres (10.5 hectares).
Canfield Mountain is a popular walking area and cycling on the outskirts of Coeur d’Alne, covered with trees and heavy brush and intermittent with paths that lead to a national forest.
Bruce Diming, who has his property, said the property that borders the corridors system is that fire is always a source of concern for the region. When smoke on the hills on Sunday afternoon, he wondered why the non -approximate helicopter responded.
When a friend sent a text message to tell him about the shooting, he realized why he did not see aircraft: “Because they are concerned about shooting him,” he said.
When the deputies prepared posts nearly, DeMing pointed to a path that starts near the rear door and leads to the site of the fire.
He said: “I do not want to wake up in the middle of the night to see if someone wanders around my place.”
