Idaho shooting: two dead after gunman ambushed firefighters responding to blaze

Police find body of suspect, who they said started the fire intentionally to ambush first responders

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.
