Idaho Firefighter Shootings: Suspect Dead, Motive Unknown | JQJO

A 20-year-old man, Wess Roley, fatally shot two firefighters and critically wounded a third near Coeur d'Alene, Idaho, before taking his own life. The firefighters responded to a wildfire Roley had started. Roley's behavior had reportedly deteriorated in recent months, and he had shown concerning actions prior to the shooting. The motive remains unclear, leaving the community in shock and mourning the loss of Battalion Chiefs Frank Harwood and John Morrison, whose combined service spanned nearly 50 years. Increased safety measures are now in place for responding firefighters.
