Two firefighters were killed and one wounded in the United States after the armed attacker attacked the fire teams that responded to fire in the Federal State of Idaho, according to official information.
The Kootenai County Sheriff’s Office announced on Sunday that the tactical response team revealed the body of the suspect attacker on the Canfield Mountain with a firearm nearby.
The office did not release his name, nor did he say what kind of weapon was found.
“Currently, the shelter is removed, but the Mount Canfield is still burning fire,” said in a statement. “The inhabitants of the area are advised to be ready in case of need for further measures.”
Earlier Sheriff Bob Norris said that the police and firefighters were exposed to sniper fire, and called away from the area around the mountain CANFIELD, natural zones popular among mountainsiles, located about 420 kilometers east of Seattle, but Jazeera reports.
The sheriff said the shooter used strong sports rifles to quickly shot at emergency services, and the police did not be safe in the number of perpetrators.
They were in place “with thick shrubs and are well prepared and merged with the environment,” Norris added.
Videos from the events previously showed the smoke rising with densely afforested slopes and armed urgent services prepared, while several emergency vehicles were seen in the nearby hospital.
“FBI technical teams and tactical resources are currently at the scene and support,” he wrote the Deputy Director of the FBI Day Bongino on XU. “This is still an active and very dangerous place of events.
The Governor Idaha Brad Little said he was attacked by “more” firefighters.
“This is a disgusted direct attack on our brave firefighters,” he said at the XU. “I ask all the inhabitants of Idah to pray for them and their families while we wait to learn more.”
Lieutenant Cheriff Kootenai, Jeff Howard, told Abc News that the law enforcement bodies investigate whether the fire could be intentionally planted to lure the emergency services in place of events.
The possession of a weapon is widespread in the United States, where the country’s constitution protects the rights of Americans to “hold and carry weapons”.
Deaths associated with armed violence are common. At least 17,927 people were killed in 2023 firearms in the United States, according to the latest available data center and disease control and prevention center.
