First Responders Firefighters ambushed in Idaho...

So sad, what on earth could the motive possibly be to attacking firefighters? Never heard of such a thing, what particular brand of crazy is percolating in the Pacific NorthWest?

Hasn’t that area sometimes attracted extreme prepper/survivalist types? Just a thought. But since the fire was apparently deliberately set as a lure, it’s unlikely to be a matter of some hidden isolationist defending his turf. Probably just another garden variety psycho stewing on an evil plot. Wouldn’t be surprised if a “manifesto” turns up somewhere.

Grace and peace to the victims and their families. This is another good reminder to thank and revere all the brave first responders that run towards danger to keep the rest of us safe.

Yes, that area is known for the survivalist/sovereign citizen type - not that we know if this incident is related. What a horrible tragedy though! It's heartbreaking and mindboggling that it could happen. My condolences to all those affected.

the suspected sniper has been identified-it appears he is not local to the pnw.

this is local to us. the 2 days preceding yesterday's horrific events dh and I were attending a conference held about 1 mile from and directly in front of these tragic horrific events. one presentation we attended was in an outdoor arena that looked directly at canfield mountain. dh and I had sat there and remarked how beautiful and peaceful the mountain is

this is terrible, horrible, unforgivable. flags in our neighborhoods are at half mast, people tearfully lined the freeway overpasses last night during the procession to the medical examiners office, the smell of smoke in the air is a constant reminder of these devastating losses of human life.
