Two people believed to be firefighters have been killed, and an unknown number of others injured, in an active shooter situation unfolding in Coeur d’Alene, Idaho, according to officials. Authorities believe the firefighters were lured to the area by a wildfire that was intentionally set.

According to a spokesperson for the Kootenai County Sheriff’s Office, firefighters initially responded to reports of a wildfire on Canfield Mountain at 1:21 p.m. on Sunday. Around 2:00 p.m., shots were fired at crews on the scene.

“We’re actively taking sniper fire as we speak,” the spokesperson said. “We’re taking rapid fire out there.”

The official reported that gunfire might be coming from multiple directions. The suspect or suspects are not believed to be inside a structure but are instead “blending in with their surroundings.” The number of assailants remains unknown.

Officials believe the suspects are using high-powered, modern sporting rifles and believe the fire was intentionally set to lure firefighters to the area..............

8. The northwest's historical hotbed of white nationalists/sovereign citizens and you go there

We have to wait for Slotkin to unveil her economic war plan before speculating on that even though she has a public record of views and votes, but I guess it’s never too early to speculate about Islamic or far left terrorism.

Because it can't be the white nationalists who have been entrenched in that area for decades.

6. Just another typical day in the Land of the Free, no, make that the

Land of the Well Armed.

Guns need to be limited and regulated. If I were in charge they'd all be taken away.

And if you think it's just fine that anyone and everyone can have all the guns they want, then don't complain about the gun deaths.

13. WHEN WILL THIS STOP?

Who has the guts to try to put an end to these massacres Every. Damn. Day? What will it take? When the hell will enough be enough?

If it was up to me, it would've been the day after Sandy Hook.

I have to stop or I'll start using some really vulgar language. I am so sick of this.

15. There was an ambushing of

A cop in Milwaukee Thursday.. I wonder if this is something that is going to happen or be coordinated by militias or something.

I remember back in the 70s ambush against cops, ambulances,firetrucks etc. Was a thing.

21. This is a common tactic used by authoritarian

terrorists. Whether shooting at first responders in the Middle East or attacking power plants in the US over the last few years. The object is chaos.
