At least 2 dead after firefighters in Idaho shot at while responding to wildfire

At least two firefighters have been killed after someone opened fire on firefighters responding to a wildfire in Coeur d'Alene, Idaho, on Sunday, local law enforcement officials said.

A SWAT team responding to the scene later found a dead man and a firearm nearby on the mountain where the fire had broken out, the Kootenai County Sheriff's Office said Sunday night. It was not immediately clear if the dead man was the suspect or if there were other suspected shooters still at large, but the sheriff's office did lift a shelter in place order that had previously been in place.

Kootenai County Sheriff Robert Norris said at an earlier news conference Sunday afternoon that first responders had been "actively taking sniper fire as we speak."
