Canfield Shootings

Residents of Coeur d’Alene were rattled Monday after the killings of two firefighters in a city that often touts itself as stark supporters of first responders.

The suspect and victims in the brazen Sunday shooting deaths of two Idaho firefighters have been identified as a pair of battalion chiefs and a 20-year-old whose motivation remains a mystery to investigators.

Two firefighters were killed in an “ambush-style” attack after responding to a wildfire on Canfield Mountain on Sunday and although attacks like this are rare, similar situations have happened.
