Suspect identified in firefighters ambush

Officials in the US state of Idaho have identified the man believed to have ignited a brush fire on Sunday and shot at the responding firefighters, killing two. The suspect, who apparently took his own life, was named as 20-year-old Wess Roley by Kootenai County Sheriff Robert Norris on Monday. A third firefighter was also injured in the incident, which occurred on Canfield Mountain, outside the city of Coeur d'Alene. Norris said investigators recovered a shotgun near Roley's body but were still searching for additional weapons he might have used. Fire crews, meanwhile, remained at the scene battling to contain flames still scorching Canfield Mountain.
