COEUR D’ALENE, Idaho — A man shot firefighters battling a blaze in northern Idaho after they asked him to move his vehicle, killing two of them and wounding a third, a sheriff said Monday.

He said Wess Roley was living out of his vehicle, had once aspired to be a firefighter and had only a handful of minor contacts with area police.

The suspect has been identified as Wess Roley, a law enforcement official told The Associated Press on Monday.
