Los Angeles, United States: US authorities found the body of a lone gunman suspected of starting a wildfire on Sunday then shooting at firefighters tackling the blaze in the northwestern state of Idaho, killing two.
The suspected shooter was found dead with a firearm on Canfield Mountain in Kootenai County -- a popular park and hiking area -- following an hours-long standoff as the fire raged.
"Based on preliminary information we believe that was the only shooter," Kootenai County's Sheriff Robert Norris told a news conference on Sunday evening, adding "there is no threat to the community at this time."
Norris said authorities believed the fire was "intentional", without providing details on the shooter's identity.
"We do believe that the suspect started the fire and that it was an ambush, and it was intentional," he told reporters.
