Idaho shooter once dreamed of being a firefighter

20-year-old Idaho man Wess Roley who once aspired to become a firefighter, fatally ambushed two firefighters and injured a third after deliberately starting a fire on Canfield Mountain to lure first responders.

Authorities say Roley opened fire with a high-powered rifle when firefighters arrived, reportedly after an altercation over his parked vehicle, which he had been living in.

Following an hours-long manhunt involving hundreds of law enforcement personnel, Roley was found dead from a self-inflicted gunshot wound.

The motive remains unclear, though his grandfather suggested possible rejection from the firefighting community.
