Idaho Gunman’s Arson and Ambush: Another Example of Right-Wing Violence
In a shocking incident in northern Idaho, a group of firefighters responding to a wildfire found themselves in an ambush. A man, identified as Wess Roley, intentionally set the fire and opened fire on the crew from a sniper position, resulting in the deaths of two firefighters and the injury of a third. Law enforcement, including helicopters with snipers and the FBI using cell phone data, located the suspect dead in the mountains with a firearm nearby. Authorities have confirmed the fire was intentionally set as an ambush, but a motive has not yet been released.
