Authorities on Monday released a social media picture of the suspect in the Idaho firefighter shooting and identified the firefighters who were killed and injured in the ambush.
The suspect, 20-year-old Wess Roley, was seen in a picture posted to his Instagram story wearing black face paint and camouflage clothing with a bandolier on his waist, authorities shared at a news conference.
Roley, who was found dead near the scene of the shooting hours after the attack that killed two firefighters and injured another, is believed to have killed himself, according to Kootenai County Sheriff Bob Norris.
The firefighter victims in the attack were identified at the news conference. Frank Harwood and John Morrison were killed, while Dave Tisdale is hospitalized in stable condition.

Norris said there had been five law enforcement interactions with Roley, which he said were very minor in nature, such as trespassing incidents.
Roley had an interaction with firefighters before shooting about where his car was parked, the sheriff said.
It appeared that the suspect was living in his vehicle, Norris noted.
“We know that he was a transient here,” the sheriff said. “We knew that he lived here for the better part of 2024. But as far as when he got here, why he was here, why he chose this place. I don’t know. He has relatives in the Priest River area, but I don’t know why he chose that. We don’t find any nexus to anything else. Maybe we’ll find more once we do an inventory of the vehicle. But as of right now, we don’t know.”
