Idaho Firefighter Ambush Victims Identified
Authorities identified Battalion Chief Frank Harwood and Battalion Chief John Morrison as the firefighters killed, and Engineer David Tysdal as critically wounded, in an ambush near Coeur d'Alene, Idaho. The suspect, 20-year-old Wess Roley, allegedly set a brush fire to lure first responders and then opened fire after being asked to move his vehicle, before dying by suicide at the scene. Roley, who had no criminal history and once aspired to be a firefighter, was living out of his car and had minor prior police interactions. Law enforcement faced sniper fire and used cellphone tracking during the large-scale response. Investigators found no manifesto or evidence of ideological motives, and the motive remains unclear. The community has rallied in support of the victims' families, with donation accounts established.
