On Sunday, two firefighters were killed and another severely injured in an ambush while combating a brush fire near Coeur d'Alene, Idaho. The firefighters were lured into the trap after responding to reports of the fire at Canfield Mountain. Local law enforcement engaged in a chaotic and dangerous situation, unaware of the number of shooters or potential civilian casualties. Kootenai County Sheriff Bob Norris emphasized the ambush's brutality, confirming the deaths of a firefighter from the Coeur d'Alene Fire Department and one from Kootenai County Fire and Rescue.
"These firefighters did not have a chance," he said.
"We don't know how many suspects are up there, and we don't know how many casualties there are," Norris told reporters.
