Two Firefighters Killed in Ambush Shooting Near Coeur d'Alene, Idaho

Multiple firefighters were ambushed and shot while responding to a brush fire near Canfield Mountain in Coeur d'Alene, Idaho, in an apparent deliberate attack. Authorities confirmed at least two people, likely firefighters, were killed, with other casualties reported, though the full extent of injuries remains unclear. The shooter or shooters, described as using modern sporting weapons, remain at large, and law enforcement agencies from neighboring areas, including Spokane, are involved in a full-scale manhunt. An emergency shelter-in-place order was issued for local residents due to the active shooter situation. Idaho Governor Brad Little called the incident a "heinous direct assault" and urged residents to keep clear of the area to allow emergency responders to work. The situation is ongoing, with authorities continuing to investigate the motive, including reports that the fire may have been deliberately set to lure firefighters into the ambush.
