In a tragic turn of events, the peaceful town of Coeur d’Alene, Idaho, was rocked by a deadly ambush on responding firefighters. The suspect, identified as 20-year-old Wess Roley, opened fire on the firefighters, resulting in the death of two crew members and injuring another. The incident has left the community in shock and mourning, as authorities work to uncover the motive behind the senseless attack.
According to reports from various news outlets, including The Washington Post and CNN, Wess Roley had once aspired to be a firefighter himself. However, his actions on that fateful day have left many questioning what could have led him to commit such a heinous act.
