Two brave Idaho firefighters were murdered in a cold-blooded ambush while fighting a wildfire. The suspect set the fire as a trap to lure and kill first responders. This evil attack happened on June 29, 2025, in northern Idaho.
Sheriff Bob Norris confirmed it was a deliberate setup. The firefighters never stood a chance against the sniper’s bullets. High-powered rifles were used to target these heroes as they worked.
The fallen heroes served with Coeur d’Alene Fire and Kootenai County Fire. They died protecting our communities. Another firefighter survived but was badly wounded.
The cowardly gunman has been found dead. He placed weapons in advance to carry out this wicked plan. His actions show pure hatred for those who protect us.
Residents were told to shelter during the danger. Law enforcement rushed in to stop the threat. Our brave police secured the area despite the risk.
Governor Brad Little called this a heinous assault on heroes. He asked for prayers for the victims’ families. The governor is right to condemn this evil.
Attacks on first responders show society’s moral decay. Our firefighters and police deserve respect, not bullets. We must back the blue and honor our true protectors.
This tragedy reminds us that evil targets the good. We stand with Idaho’s heroes against such cowardice. Supporting our first responders is patriotic duty.
