How tragic for the family of the shooter, who are also victims of the gunman.
Coeur d'Alene gunman's grandfather says he had no idea grandson was capable of acts
Coeur d'Alene, Idaho— The grandfather of the gunman who killed two firefighters in Coeur d'Alene told 4 News Now he had no idea his grandson was capable of this.www.kxly.com
I would assume that LE have searched the home thoroughly if that is where the shooter was living.

I haven't seen it mentioned where he was living. Just that his last known address was in Arizona & dad (and family) live an hour or so away from where this all went down. (All from the DM article just linked)

The 20 year-old sniper, who also died on Canfield Mountain in Coeur D'Alene Sunday, lived in Arizona with his mother <modsnip>

It was stated by his grandfather in the MSM article posted above.
His grandfather, Dale Roley, spoke with 4 News Now over the phone Monday morning. He said he had no idea his grandson, Wess Roley, would do something like this.
He said Wess was living in Coeur d'Alene and working for a tree company and trying to get into forestry. He said he hiked in the Canfield Mountain area often.
Dale Roley said he has not heard from Wess's dad and asked the sheriff's office to do a wellness check on him and his wife.

Yes, I meant to say who he was living with. Public records show he lived with his mom in AZ but we know that wasn't his current living situation.It was stated by his grandfather in the MSM article posted above.

WIthin the age group where schizophrenia can come on hard and fast.
My personal reaction is that firefighters are universally seen as Good. The epitome of Goodness, really. And sometimes, psychotic people see themselves as the epitome of Evil and act accordingly.

From your article (gotten the non-sub way):Oops! Sorry!
Behind a paywall
Something connected to Black Metal music
I'm not sure it is really relevant.
In now deleted images shared to social media by his stepfather, Wess Roley, 20, can be seen in a t-shirt by Norwegian black metal band 'Darkthrone'.
To keep within copywrite rules... the article also says that it appears that he had a fascination with European neo-Nazis and heavy-metal.
Disturbing t-shirt that reveals Idaho sniper's dark obsession
Sniper Wess Roley lured hundreds of firefighters to a fiery mountainside on Sunday in a twisted ambush that shocked America. The young shooter was killed in the crossfire.

I live 50 miles from Couer d alene. Some here suspect Neo Nazi act as written about in the article. There are some white supremacist groups around Northern Idaho but then again they are everywhere .seems like a very angry kid. Moo

"....and an eerie photo shows him delivering a sinister glare into the camera."
Huh?
Ummm....
It looks like a typical official photo for a document.
I have similar in my passport,
as you are not allowed to smile.
And sure, it doesn't look flattering cough, cough

Bbm.
I am only interested in his living situation in relation to the murders.
Were there any red flags reported by anyone at all ?
A hint as to his plans ?
I'm assuming LE maybe have his phone and laptop/other devices, and are perusing them as we speak.
Very sad that there are young people his age who struggle with terminal illness like cancer & want a chance to live, and this possibly physically healthy young man threw it all away.
If he needed mental help, it's too bad he didn't seek treatment.
Some young people are under their parent's insurance until about mid-twenties.

Schizophrenia is a physical disease of the brain, sadly. Of the mental illnesses, it is the one most associated with suicide. AFAIK, everyone who has schizophrenia has at least one of the various genes that cause it. It is inherited (although not everyone with the genes gets schizophrenia - if they can get to about age 30 without onset, they are likely not going to get it).
Similarly, there are genes that cause a predisposition to cancer.
Schizophrenia is a very painful illness, hence the many suicides. Suicide is more common in younger schizophrenics, who are completely overwhelmed by the disease and usually unmedicated. I remember one of my profs saying, though, that anyone who is willing to kill themselves is already in major tabu breaking territory and are far more likely to harm others as well (hence so many extensive suicides, which this likely is).
Idaho sniper's horror Instagram revealed as grandpa hints at motive
Wess Val Roley allegedly launched a barrage of gunfire over several hours around 1.30pm at Canfield Mountain, close to the town of Coeur d'Alene in northern Idaho, killing two firefighters.
'Deputies who responded on scene thought it would be in their best interest to get rid of what they thought was Roley’s vehicle.
'They pushed it over the side so that he couldn’t get in it and flee.'
'It did appear that he was living in the vehicle,' he added.
Rbm.
Hmmm.
Cut himself off from people, even family ?
