There was a fire and forest firefighters went to the call.
USA TODAY
A firefghter was fighting for his life Monday while authorities in Idaho were trying to determine why a sniper ignited a blaze before ambushing and fatally shooting two responding firefighters.
The sniper was found dead following a shootout with police, Kootenai County Sheriff Bob Norris said. The wounded firefighter was in stable condition late Sunday, Norris said.
The sniper was identified as 20-year-old Wess Roley, a law enforcement official confirmed to USA TODAY.
The suspect in the sh00ting that k*lled two Idaho firefighters and injured another is 20-year-old Wess Roley.
- He has a prior arrest for as*ault in 2024. This incident involved him allegedly attacking a woman with a knife, for which he was charged with felony as*ault with a d*adly weapon. He pleaded guilty to a reduced charge of misdemeanor as*ault, receiving a sentence of 180 days in jail with 150 days suspended. He was also ordered to undergo a mental health evaluation and complete anger management classes.
- Roley's social media activity, particularly on X, revealed disturbing content. He posted about his disdain for authority figures, including police and firefighters, and expressed radical views. His posts included threats and general hostility toward society, which raised concerns among those who followed him. Additionally, he was known to have made threats against his family, leading to a no-contact order being issued against him.
I will add to this thread as I discover more info. I will NOT be posting about his family unless it’s a concern and need-to-know for the public.
