I think in the presser he used the word 'neutralize', though I did get the sense that he was more than okay with neutralization being deadly.

Was this an area close to the federal areas that were talked of being put up for sale in multiple states including Idaho in a bill that was pulled? It seems awfully close, I will try to link article. 22 million acres of Idaho public land could be sold under new proposal

Public lands eligible for sale in the Senate

Just watching now. Likely a "multi-day operation" if suspects not neutralized quickly.
Gunmen were well prepared.

The Sheriff seems to think there are multiple shooters - he kept saying “they” in the Pressor. But there is no confirmation of that so far.

"Life Flight Network has sent three helicopters to the area at the request of local law enforcement," spokesperson Natalie Hannah said by email.

The aircraft are based in Spokane, Washington; Coeur d’Alene, Idaho; and Sandpoint, Idaho, she said.

"No patients have been transported yet but our teams remain at the ready to respond at the request of incident command," Hannah said.

These demented terrorist gunmen's homes and properties would be potentially be saved by these very firefighters, if there was a threatening wildfire.

What on earth is the motive here, attacking firefighters ?? What is their beef?? Why??

MOO.

He said “if you have an open clear shot, take it”. I think it’s pretty obvious what that means.

A firefighter calling EMS said that they needed “law enforcement up here immediately,” according to audio obtained by CNN.

“Send law enforcement right now, there’s an active shooter zone,” the firefighter is heard saying. “Everybody’s shot up here.”

“We’ve got another, another Coeur d’Alene firefighter down,” the firefighter said. “He needs help immediately. We need law enforcement immediately.”

The firefighter also said “we could possibly get the two wounded out” and that he was “pinned down” behind a fire department vehicle.
