Two firefighters were fatally shot in a mountain community in Idaho, in north-western US, while responding to a brush fire, officials say.

Another firefighter was injured when a suspect opened fire with a high-powered rifle near the city of Coeur d’Alene, according to the Kootenai County Sheriff’s Office.

SWAT officers later “located a deceased male” nearby to where the attack took place on Canfield Mountain, and lifted a shelter-in-place order. But residents were also warned that an active wildfire was still continuing on the mountain. (BBC)
