Thanks.
 
Watching CNN live. They say Idaho LE authorities have identified the shooter as Wes Rolley.

LE was able to trace his cell phone as he was located on the mountain.

Fire probably could have been controlled earlier if they weren't being shot at. went to 26 acres.

Fire was and is considered a crime scene. Fire fighters had to pick up evidence where they coul during the fire.

Having a grudge against first responders sounds like someone with an agenda. JMO
 
Where is all this info coming from? Nothing at all in MSM. In fact, this is all I've found. BBM

Roley, who also died on Sunday, was identified to the Associated Press by a law enforcement source on Monday morning.

No further biographical information including his age, profession or a possible motive has been given.

There's a whole bunch of wild speculation running rampant online right now, based on nothing more than basic demographic/geographic info.

If LE has WR's phone, that may give them some insight into where his head was at leading up to the attack...between the electronic/digital info and interviews with those closest to him, I think they'll be able to determine what motivated his heinous actions.

Everything we're hearing and seeing right now about the killer's motive is pure guesswork from people who aren't in the know.

JMO.
 
(NewsNation) — Authorities in Idaho have identified a suspect after two firefighters were fatally shot and a third was wounded Sunday while responding to a wildfire reportedly set by the gunman.

The suspect has been identified as Wess Roley, a law enforcement official told the Associated Press on Monday. The official spoke on the condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to discuss the investigation.

 
Records show Wess Roley, 20, most recently lived in Phoenix, Arizona, but appears to have family in Idaho about an hour’s drive from the location of the June 29 shooting.

The Kootenai County Sheriff's Office has not released a possible motive in the shooting.

From the article you posted:

It's unclear how the suspect died but Norris said he had engaged in a shootout with responding law enforcement officers.

I hope they took him out and it was by his own hand.
