Two firefighters were killed in a shooting while they responded to a wildfire in the Idaho town of Coeur d’Alene.
The pair were among a crew called out to tackle a fire on Canfield Mountain in the north-west of the US state yesterday afternoon.
Around half an hour after the group arrived, shots started to be fired at them from a thick forest.
Kootenai County Sheriff Robert Norris told a news conference that firefighters were still ‘actively taking sniper fire as we speak’.
He said: ‘We are prepared to neutralize this suspect who is currently actively shooting at public safety personnel.
‘We are prepared to neutralize this suspect as quickly as possible.’
A SWAT team responding to the incident later found a dead man with a firearm on the mountain, and the local emergency management team confirmed one gunman was dead.

Afterwards, Norris said preliminary evidence indicated only one person was responsible for the shooting.
He described the incident as a ‘total ambush’, saying the firefighters who were killed ‘did not have a chance’.
A third firefighter who was taken to hospital had left surgery and was in a stable condition but ‘fighting for his life’, the sheriff added.


Helicopters sent out to find the suspect with heat-seeking technology had struggled with the smoke from the wildfire and the presence of hikers in the area, CBS News reported.
People in the area were warned to shelter in place, while a ‘strict prohibition on drone use’ was ordered for the skies above the scene.
Idaho Governor Brad Little wrote on X: ‘This is a heinous direct assault on our brave firefighters. I ask all Idahoans to pray for them and their families as we wait to learn more.’

An Egyptian tourist was deported moments after he kicked an airport security dog into the air.
Hamed Ramadan Bayoumy Aly Marie, 70, attacked beagle Freddie on Tuesday at Washington Dulles International Airport in Virginia.
He kicked the dog as he waited for his baggage to arrive after landing in from Cairo.
Freddie had alerted to one of his bags, and detected more than 100 pounds worth of prohibited food inside Marie’s luggage.
Inside was 55 pounds of beef meat, 44 pounds of rice, 15 pounds of eggplant, cucumbers and bell peppers, two pounds of corn seeds, and a pound of herbs.
As he was being questioned by Freddie’s handler, Marie suddenly kicked the dog so hard he flew into the air.
Footage shows Freddie on his hind legs and another shot showing his mid-air.


After being taken to the vet, he was was found to have suffered contusions on his right forward rib area.
He pleaded guilty to harming the dog and was ordered to pay the vet fees, before being swiftly removed from the US.
Christine Waugh, CBP’s Area Port Director for the Area Port of Washington, D.C, said: ‘Being caught deliberately smuggling well over one hundred pounds of undeclared and prohibited agriculture products does not give one permission to violently assault a defenseless Customs and Border Protection beagle.


‘We rely heavily on our K9 partners and Freddie was just doing his job. Any malicious attack on one of us is an attack on all of us, and Customs and Border Patrol (CBP) will continue to work with our investigating and prosecuting partners to deal swift and severe justice to perpetrators.’
The CBP said: ‘CBP’s Beagles Brigade plays a vital role in screening passengers and cargo to prevent the introduction of harmful plant pests and foreign animal disease from entering the U.S.
‘Animal and plant diseases and invasive pests and weeds have cost nations millions to billions of dollars in eradication measures and lost revenues.’
