Two people were killed in the state of Idaho while responding on a brush fire

Officials say that two people were shot in a mountainous community in the West American state of Idaho while responding to the brush fire.

Robert Norris, the Cutna County Office, said that at least the active shooter shoots the law enforcement with a high -energy rifle near the city of Cor Dalin.

Sherif Norris said: “We are creating a sniper fire and we are talking,” adding that the officers reported bullets coming from different directions. The population was asked to avoid the scene on Mount Canfeed.

The deputy director of the FBI Dan Bonjino said that the agents were responding to “providing tactical and operating support.” “Multiple heroic firefighters,” said ruler Brad Little.

“This is an outrageous direct attack on our brave firefighters,” the ruler posted on X.

He added: “Since this situation is still developing, please stay clear from the area to allow law enforcement and firefighters to carry out their jobs.”

Sherif Norris told a press conference on Sunday that “we do not know whether there is one, two, three or four” at the scene, about four miles (6.5 km) north of Corcal Dalin.

“We do not know the number of suspects there, and we do not know the number of existing injuries,” he said.

Sherif Norris said the authorities believed that the two people who were killed are firefighters.

“I hope that someone has a clear shot and that he is able to neutralize, because they are not at this time period showing any evidence of the desire to surrender.”

He told reporters that there are civilians in Mount Canvied, who is homogeneous in long -distance walking paths and cycling, so “it will be safe to assume” that others are still there.

Sherif Norris said that the invitation about the brush fire came around 13:22 local time (19:22 GMT) on Sunday. At 14:00, firefighters reported.

The brush fire was still burning amid a shooting.

Local firefighting chief Bat Riley told the KHQ television station that he was “saddened” by the attack.

The Coutinai County Emergency Management Office sent an alert requesting people to avoid the area surrounding the Canfield Mountain Trailhead and Netttleton Gulch Road.
