Attack on first responders in Idaho?

[smb5769]

Is anyone following what's going on in Coeur d'ilene (sp?) Idaho? I heard someone started a wildfire up there and when firefighters responded they started shooting them. Two firemen dead and shooters at large?

Suspect is dead, it's close enough to motivate me to double check my 12 gauge. Hmmm, my old shell holder is losing its stretch, Amazon is sending a newer better one.

Along with a couple 12 gauge cards.

Any word on who suspect is? Religion of peace?

It's too early for that, this just happened.

Watching live coverage. Huge procession for the two firefighters killed going on now.

The sheriff gave a press conference tonight. Two firefighters deceased, a third in stable condition after surgery. Kootenai county assisted by FBI, Washington, Montana, as well as other Idaho departments. Two helicopters were there and national guard had Blackhawks enroute. It appears the dirt bag started the fire in order to lure firefighters in.

Time to start arming the firemen and paramedics. Also, go back to "dead or alive" wanted posters and bounties.

Something's better than nothing, but I can't imagine carrying a carbine while working a fire. A handgun wouldn't be very effective in a situation like this one.

For those inclined to donate a few bucks, be careful, there'll be scammers looking to use this incident. I'm sure the red and blue foundation will set something up today, they're legitimate. I'll post links when something legit is set up.

Tunnel to Towers Foundation provides financial support, even homes to families of fallen first responders. It's also a national foundation, so it's monitored for integrity.
