Details
A gunman shot and killed two firefighters in an “ambush-style” attack at the popular Canfield Mountain recreation area near Coeur d’Alene Sunday afternoon.
The slain firefighters were from the Coeur d’Alene Fire Department and Kootenai County Fire and Rescue, Kootenai County Sheriff Bob Norris said at a news conference Sunday night. A third firefighter was “fighting for his life” after undergoing surgery, the sheriff said.
Members of the SWAT team found one man dead on Canfield Mountain with a gun nearby, according to a news release from the Kootenai County Sheriff’s Office. Ashelter-in-place order for the surrounding area was then lifted.
Investigators were able to hone in on a cell phone that had been in one place on the mountain since 3:16 p.m., Norris said. When they traced the phone, they found their alleged suspect dead with a firearm under his body. Norris said it’s unclear whether he died by suicide.
The firefighters who were killed or injured and the shooter were not identified Sunday.
The community lines the streets for a procession.

Original Story
In Coeur D’Alene, Idaho, a man or men started a fire, and waited for firefighters to arrive so he could shoot them.
Early reports ay nine firefighters and two police officers were injured. There might be other victims up on the hill. There are calls for life flights.
It’s utter madness.
The Sheriff gives an update explaining they don’t know how many shooters or victims or if civilians didn’t get out. At least two are dead.

Waiting for the ‘spin’ by the ‘legacy’ media and the Demoncraps to beatify the murderer/murderers…and admonish the ‘firefighters…
This is Trump’s fault, somehow, and the MSM mis-ledia will be the first to tell us it was.
Athol?
Why use the name of a small town that is nowhere near Caldwell Mountain on the east side of Coeur D’Alene?
I see nowhere else that there is a second incident.
I live not far to the north and west of Athol.
We put it ups so quickly, all we had at the time is it was near Athol.
Even if he/she/they surrender K.O.S..!

Statistics show that 25% of leftist, liberal Democrats are being treated for mental disorders. But that means that 75% are left untreated and walking among us. On the other hand, many returning veterans are committing suicide because of the experimental drugs that the psychology and counseling industry are administering to them.
Democrats did this.
