2 Firefighters Killed in Ambush in US Idaho
Israa Farhan At least two firefighters were fatally shot and a third critically injured in a targeted ambush while responding to a wildfire near Coeur d'Alene, Idaho, on Sunday afternoon, in what authorities believe was a deliberate trap set by a lone gunman. The tragic incident unfolded around 1:30 p.m. local time as crews arrived to contain a brush fire on Canfield Mountain, a popular area for hiking and cycling. According to Kootenai County Sheriff Robert Norris, the fire appears to have been intentionally ignited to lure emergency personnel into a deadly ambush. As firefighters attempted to combat the blaze, they came under sniper fire. Responding law enforcement officers also encountered ongoing gunfire during the initial response, complicating rescue efforts. Authorities were initially unsure if multiple assailants were involved due to the difficult terrain and heavy smoke obscuring visibility. Later in the day, a suspect believed to be responsible for the attack was found dead, reportedly located using cell phone tracking. Sheriff Norris confirmed that the individual is believed to have acted alone and that there is no ongoing threat to the local community. Kootenai Health hospital confirmed that three individuals were transported from the scene. Two firefighters were pronounced dead on arrival, while a third remains in critical condition following emergency surgery. The attack has shocked the northern Idaho community, with officials describing the incident as a deeply calculated assault on public safety responders. Investigations are ongoing to determine the suspect's motive. read more Gold prices rise, 21 Karat at EGP 3685 NATO's Role in Israeli-Palestinian Conflict US Expresses 'Strong Opposition' to New Turkish Military Operation in Syria Shoukry Meets Director-General of FAO Lavrov: confrontation bet. nuclear powers must be avoided News Iran Summons French Ambassador over Foreign Minister Remarks News Aboul Gheit Condemns Israeli Escalation in West Bank News Greek PM: Athens Plays Key Role in Improving Energy Security in Region News One Person Injured in Explosion at Ukrainian Embassy in Madrid News China Launches Largest Ever Aircraft Carrier Sports Former Al Zamalek Player Ibrahim Shika Passes away after Long Battle with Cancer Videos & Features Tragedy Overshadows MC Alger Championship Celebration: One Fan Dead, 11 Injured After Stadium Fall Lifestyle Get to Know 2025 Eid Al Adha Prayer Times in Egypt Business Fear & Greed Index Plummets to Lowest Level Ever Recorded amid Global Trade War News Flights suspended at Port Sudan Airport after Drone Attacks Videos & Features Video: Trending Lifestyle TikToker Valeria Márquez Shot Dead during Live Stream News Shell Unveils Cost-Cutting, LNG Growth Plan Technology 50-Year Soviet Spacecraft 'Kosmos 482' Crashes into Indian Ocean Arts & Culture "6 Ayam" Sets Streaming Date
