Unconfirmed reports indicate that nine firefighters and two police officers were slaughtered during the attack. The authorities believe that the fire had intentionally attracting the first stakeholders to Canfield Mountain to the heart of Alene.
The incident started on Sunday afternoon and the authorities think it could have been a configuration:
The incident took place around 1:30 p.m. local time, after a small but growth, a brush fire broke out on Sunday afternoon of Canfield Mountain.
When firefighters responded to the fire about half an hour later, they started to be shot by an unknown person or people in the woods, officials said.
Norris said that the situation remains active and that the authorities are currently taking fire to several directions on the mountain.
Civilians also descend from the mountain and could be stuck in the middle of the fire, said Norris.
The police investigate the question of whether the fire could have been intentionally fixed in order to attract the first stakeholders to the scene, the Sheriff of Kootenai Sheriff, Jeff Howard, told ABC News.

The Sheriff of the County of Kootenai, Robert Norris, held a press conference and described the fate of residents of the region.
“We now have two dead. We have an unknown quantity of victims,” said Norris. “We still have civilians who come out of this mountain. We could have civilians who are stuck or in shock from this mountain. It is therefore a very, very fresh situation.”
The search for the attacker or attackers is underway, and a helicopter is currently above the area trying to locate the shots (s). ABC News reports that the scene “is considered a situation of active shooters and an on -site shelter command was issued for the start of the Canfield Mountain and the surrounding path.”
Hopefully the next story we give you on this tragedy will be that the sick attackers have been captured or withdrawn from the earth.
