The two slain firefighters, who have not been identified, died on the way to the Kootenai Health campus in Coeur d’Alene, a hospital spokesperson said. One was from the Coeur D’Alene Fire Department, and the other was from Kootenai County Fire and Rescue, authorities said.

Authorities believe the gunman set a fire on Canfield Mountain near Coeur D’Alene and shot the responding firefighters, of whom two were killed and one injured.
