“We don’t know if there’s one, two, three or four,” shooters, Norris said, with officers reporting bullets coming from multiple directions.
The fire may have been intentionally set to draw first responders to the scene, one responding firefighter noted in audio from Kootenai County Fire and EMS via Broadcastify.
The blaze, which began as a half-acre, remains active as police work to stop the “rapid fire” shooting.
It is unknown how many people were injured in the shooting, and hikers and residents are still “stuck” on the mountain, officials said.
Idaho Gov. Brad Little urged people to stay away from the area to allow law enforcement and firefighters to do their work.
“Multiple heroic firefighters were attacked today while responding to a fire in North Idaho,” Little said in a post on X.
The incident is in the Canfield Mountain Natural Area, a 24-acre park on the east side of the city. »
