The alleged sniper who killed two firefighters and wounded a third in an ambush-styled attack in Idaho has been identified as Wess Roley.
The Associated Pressd reported, citing a law enforcement official, that Roley deliberately set a brush fire on Canfield Mountain, near Coeur d’Alene, Idaho, on Sunday, June 29 to lure first responders into a deadly trap.
The Kootenai County Sheriff’s Office said fire crews responded to a blaze at Canfield Mountain just north of Coeur d’Alene around 1:30 p.m. Gunshots were reported about a half-hour later.
In audio from the scene, a firefighter said there was an "emergency situation" and an "active shooter at a fire."
"We need law enforcement up here immediately," the firefighter told a dispatcher, adding that there were "two battalion chiefs down."
"We have another Coeur d’Alene firefighter down ... we've got two unresponsive battalion chiefs down, multiple gunshot wounds, two Coeur d’Alene are down ... I'm pinned down," the caller continued.
The caller also said that the fire "was set intentionally to draw us in."
"It's clear to me that this fire was set intentionally to draw us in," the caller said.
Law enforcement launched a massive manhunt, tracking the suspected gunman through the terrain. Using cellphone data, a tactical team located Roley’s body several hours later in a wooded area near the origin point of the fire. A firearm was found nearby.
Officials have not yet confirmed whether he died by suicide or was fatally wounded during an exchange with authorities.
The identities of the two deceased firefighters have not been publicly released, pending notification of next of kin.
The third firefighter, who suffered critical injuries, underwent emergency surgery and remains in stable condition.

How long before we find out that he wanted to become a she?
If the story disappears, you know he is one of the protected classes by the media.
Was the cabal behind this?

His photo looks like that wouldn’t be out of the realm of possibility.
The cabal’s agenda is to mind control the public into thinking Trump supporters are terrorists.
Or killed by an accomplice?
Sum Ting Wong.
Hopefully ballistics will confirm one rifle.
She did it because people keep misgendering her. 🤡
That one would’ve been popular in prison.
The shooter’s parents are reportedly MAGA supporters, so why would he do this horrific act, a complete rejection of MAGA values? Two possibilities come to mind: (1) this was an act of rebellion against his parents; or (2) he was on some sort of medication - perhaps related to ADHD or some other mental condition - that triggered this act. In nearly all of the photos I’ve seen of him, he looks very unhappy. Perhaps he was in a state of extreme depression, treated or untreated.
Yes, there was a long firefight, but authorities stopped shooting when the perp's cell phone stopped moving.

There are unsubstantiated posts that he was born in Russia and has lived in New York and Florida.
More investigation is necessary.
Thanks, Glory!
I think you’re right.
