Deadly Shooting Incident in Idaho During Brush Fire Response

Tragic attack claims lives of firefighters and prompts urgent law enforcement response.


Two individuals have tragically lost their lives in Idaho after gunfire erupted while they were engaging with a brush fire near Coeur d'Alene, as confirmed by local authorities.

Official reports indicate that Kootenai County Sheriff's Office has identified an active shooter firing a high-powered rifle in the vicinity, resulting in an immediate law enforcement response. Sheriff Robert Norris stated they were encountering sniper fire from multiple directions, urging nearby residents to stay clear of Canfield Mountain.

FBI officials are on-site to provide additional tactical support, and Idaho Governor Brad Little condemned the assault, labeling it a “heinous direct attack” on firefighters, while calling for prayers for the victims and their families. The sheriff mentioned that uncertainty remains concerning the number of shooters involved, as well as potential civilian casualties.

Firefighters initially responded to the call regarding the brush fire at 13:22 local time, but were met with hostile fire by 14:00. Local emergency management has warned residents to avoid the area as the situation unfolds, with concerns for civilians remaining in the vicinity.
