STORYLINE:
Firefighters are back at the scene Monday of a blaze where two firefighters died and another was wounded the day before in an ambush shooting attack.
Authorities say a man intentionally set the fire Sunday to lure fire fighters there to ambush them on Canfield Mountain just north of Coeur d’Alene.
The shooter was perched in a sniper position. Authorities say firefighters took cover behind firetrucks, but two died and a third was wounded during a barrage of gunfire over several hours.
The gunman was later found dead with a weapon nearby. A law enforcement official has identified the suspect as Wess Roley. The official spoke to The Associated Press on Monday on the condition of anonymity because they weren’t authorized to discuss the investigation.
Authorities have not yet revealed a motive.
