I saw a couple of articles last night about two firefighters killed by a gunman after responding to a wildfire in northern Idaho. It seems that the gunman, who was found dead by law enforcement personal, mau have set the wildfire to lure firefighters to the scene. The wildfire which has burned about 26 acres as I write this is still burning. I understand that the gunman was found dead and it is suspected that he was the lone gunman. I subscribe to the Washington Post and the New York Times and both newspapers are covering this fire. Unfortunately I can not easily gift either article to you, but here is CNN's coverage of this incident. Wildfire Today is covering this incident and has a good article that they just updated that you may find here where you may find a link to the 26 minute press conference by Kootenai County Sheriff Bob Norris that I am embedding below. As we all are, I am deeply saddened by the two firefighters who were killed and those who were injured. I have read about numerous wildfire that were intentionally set, but never something like this where firefighters were shot and killed. I am holding the families and colleagues of those who were killed as well as the injured in my prayers. I understand that the gunman was found dead and it is suspected that he was the lone gunman.
