Key FactsFirefighters Ambushed in Idaho Brush Fire Attack

Summary created with AI assistance · Source: npr.org
- An armed individual deliberately started a brush fire to lure firefighters to Canfield Mountain in northern Idaho.
- Firefighters were shot at about 30 minutes after arriving, resulting in two fatalities and one critically injured.
- The shooter, armed with a sniper rifle, concealed himself in the terrain and was later found dead by authorities.
- Ongoing investigations face challenges as the crime scene was compromised by the continuing fire.
We do believe the suspect started the fire, it was an ambush and it was totally intentional.— Sheriff Bob Norris said this during a news conference on Sunday.
