The sniper suspect was identified as 20-year-old Wess Roley after an hourslong manhunt ended in the discovery of his body.

A man who had intentionally set the fire to ambush the crew on Sunday was perched in a sniper position, firing at the firefighters, according to the AP. They took cover behind firetrucks, but two died and a third was wounded during a barrage of gunfire over several hours, authorities said.
