A man armed with a rifle intentionally started a wildfire and then began shooting at first responders in a northern Idaho mountain community, killing two firefighters and wounding a third during a barrage of gunfire over several hours, authorities said.
A shelter-in-place order was lifted on Sunday night after a tactical response team used mobile phone data to “home in” on a wooded area where they found the suspect’s body with a firearm nearby as flames rapidly approached, said Bob Norris, the Kootenai county sheriff.
