News summary

At least two people, believed to be firefighters, were killed in a sniper ambush that began about 30 minutes after emergency crews arrived to fight a wildfire on Canfield Mountain near Coeur d’Alene, Idaho. The attack led to an ongoing standoff, with law enforcement exchanging gunfire with an unknown number of suspects thought to be hiding in heavy brush. Civilians and emergency personnel have been evacuating the area under sniper fire, and residents nearby were ordered to shelter in place.
