2 dead in Idaho after gunman ambushes firefighters responding to brush fire: Sheriff
Two people are dead after firefighters were ambushed by a gunman, or multiple gunmen, while responding to a brush fire in Coeur d'Alene, Idaho, officials said. Kootenai County Sheriff Robert Norris said during a press briefing that the number of others injured in the attack and ongoing fire is unknown. The two fatalities are believed to be fire personnel, Norris said. MORE: 1 dead, 2 hurt in Philly fire and explosion that leveled or damaged multiple homes The incident unfolded at approximately 1:30 p.m. local time after a small but growing brush fire broke out on Canfield Mountain Sunday afternoon. When fire personnel responded to the blaze about half an hour later, they started getting shot at by an unknown person, or persons, in the woods, officials said. Norris said that the situation remains active and that authorities are currently taking fire from multiple directions on the mountain. Civilians are also coming down off the mountain and could be stuck amid the blaze, Norris said. Law enforcement is investigating whether the fire could have been intentionally set in order to lure first responders to the scene, Kootenai County Sheriff's Lt. Jeff Howard told ABC News. The search for the suspect is ongoing, law enforcement officials briefed on the investigation told ABC News. A police helicopter is flying overhead in the area to try and locate the suspect from the air, officials said. Landing the chopper to assist on the ground is made more difficult in the mountainous terrain because the shooter is still at large, officials added. The scene is considered an active shooter situation and a shelter-in-place order has been issued for Canfield Mountain Trailhead and the surrounding area.

BYU's Jake Retzlaff intends to transfer as QB expects honor code suspension after assault allegations: report
BYU quarterback Jake Retzlaff intends to transfer as he believes a seven-game suspension is coming from the school for an honor code violation stemming from a sexual assault allegation against him. Retzlaff has just one year left of eligibility as a graduate student, and with a possible suspension coming, ESPN reported his intention to go elsewhere for the 2025 college football season. The Salt Lake Tribune reported Retzlaff's anticipation of the lengthy suspension from BYU, which is run by The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Engaging in consensual premarital sex is a violation of BYU's honor code, which is a strict set of rules that instructs students to "live a chaste and virtuous life," per the Tribune. While Retzlaff is not Mormon, the honor code applies to all students enrolled at BYU. A woman, who was referred to as Jane Doe A.G., is accusing Retzlaff of sexual assault in a lawsuit that was filed in May. Retzlaff is being sued for alleged battery, assault and intentional infliction of emotional distress for an alleged incident at his apartment in November 2023. Retzlaff, 22, is not being criminally charged. According to the lawsuit, the Salt Lake City woman is claiming she met Retzlaff via social media before agreeing to visit him at his apartment to play video games, per ESPN. The lawsuit states that the two started to kiss, but Retzlaff ignored her requests to stop and continued to "escalating the situation." The original complaint alleged that Retzlaff put his hands around the woman's neck and raped her after she attempted to leave his apartment, per ESPN. However, new filings on Friday have Retzlaff denying the allegations, claiming the two engaged in consensual sex. "Mr. Retzlaff specifically and categorically denies each and every and all allegations that he bit, raped or strangled [the woman], which are ridiculous and bizarre allegations, all of which are false and untrue," Retzlaff's attorneys wrote, via ESPN. Retzlaff's attorneys are also accusing the woman of extortion, claiming the quarterback never heard from the woman for more than a year. But, now that he is "an NFL Draft prospect," the lawsuit is coming out, USA Today reported, citing Friday's filings. Retzlaff transferred to BYU in 2023, and he led the way in 2024 with an 11-2 record for the Cougars. It's unknown where Retzlaff will transfer, or which teams may be interested in him for this year.
