Police have identified Wess Roley as the sniper who allegedly set a wooded area in Idaho ablaze to lure firefighters before opening fire and killing two of them.
The body of Roley, 20, was recovered by police after they engaged him in a shootout Sunday afternoon. Police confirmed to the Associated Press that he was behind the attack, which the local sheriff described as a “total ambush.”
The firefight took place on Canfield Mountain, a popular hiking destination in Coeur d’Alene. Police have yet to say how Roley died or what his motive was.
