A man who had intentionally set the fire to ambush the crew on Sunday was perched in a sniper position, firing at the firefighters.

The suspect, who died on Sunday and was found with a firearm nearby, was a 20-year-old man, according to a law-enforcement official.

Authorities say two firefighters were killed and another was badly injured after they were ambushed and shot while responding to a wildfire near Coeur d’Alene, Idaho on Sunday afternoon.
