Police sources met 20-year-old Wess Roey suspected Sniper attacks on Idaho firefighters, according to the BBC CBS News Partner.
Two firefighters were killed and thirdly injured on Sunday after they were shot at a gunman when they arrived in a blow in Canfield Mountain, north of Coeur D’Alene.
Authorities believe Royey intentionally lit fire to minimize first responders in place.
A tactical police team later “found a deceased man” – believed that the shotter – near where the attack had occurred. Authorities have never commented on a motive, or reveal how Reye dies.
“We believe that the suspect began to fire,” Norris told a night News News Conference on Sunday.
“It’s a general ambush. These firefighters don’t have a chance.
“Missing a Coeur D’Alene Firefighter, and we’ll lose a fireman from Kootenai County Fire and Rescue.”
The third is “fighting for his life, but in a state of being strong”, he said.
The first report of a community fire on the mountain is held at 13:21 PST (21:21 BST), followed by 40 minutes of reports shot dead by firefighters.
The fire increased by 20 hectares after it was first reported and continued to burn Sunday night, Sheriff Bob Norris said.
More than 300 law enforcement officials from City, County, State and Federal shooting, including two helicopters riding snipers.
Norris said Roey accused of using a high-powered sporting rifle to burn rapidly with first responders, the first officers unsure of the number of perpetrators involved.
After an hourly stalling gun in the gun, the suspect was found using mobile phone data.
It is unclear when the suspect took his own life or hit an officer, Norris said.
