Ambush 2 fire fighters dead

[Sky727]

A SWAT team has located a deceased man and a nearby firearm hours after a sniper shot and killed two firefighters and injured another while they were battling a wildfire in Idaho, authorities confirmed late Sunday. 
The Kootenai County Sheriff's office said the deceased male was located on Canfield Mountain. A shelter in place was lifted, but an active wildfire remained, the sheriff's office said. Authorities are expected to provide more information at a 12:30 a.m. ET press conference. 
The update came hours after the International Association of Fire Fighters confirmed that the two victims who were killed were firefighters.
"While responding to a fire earlier today in Coeur d’Alene, Idaho, IAFF members were ambushed in a heinous act of violence. Two of our brothers were killed by a sniper, and a third brother remains in surgery," the association said. "Please keep them, their families, and law enforcement in your prayers."
FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino said the agency is on scene and that it is still very active and dangerous.

When I saw the news on that something inside me crushed.

Such a tragedy committed by such a coward.
To target unarmed people trying to keep us safe.
Sounds like domestic terrorism to me.

Reminds me of a major city Fire Dept in the mid-1980s.  
Cowards would sabotage houses, and then set them on fire.  

There are evil people in this world.

Looking like he probably went schizo without anyone catching it. 

He was 20 and recently begun leaving his car running for 12 hours and shaving off his hair.  And overall going downhill and becoming more disheveled. And no longer idolizing first responders like he did until he went off the rails. 

Crazy dejection? Imagined rejection? Actual "No way in hell" response? 

Something came on or went off.
And something blamed firefighters. 

They said he was in contact to become a firefighter at one point, maybe he had some disqualification therein? .

We'll never really know.

So he's just the asshole monster that started a fire to ambushed the first responders before killing himself.

Now they make over his background for the narrative. Loner. Gun nut. Political ideology. 
   He came from a broken home. I'd like to know what meds he was on and if he got off them. Living in his car, maybe his money ran out.
