Coeur d'Alene firefighters were on the scene of a blaze in the Canfield Mountain area in Idaho Sunday afternoon.
30 minutes later, a sniper began shooting at them.
Authorities say two firefighters were killed.
Sheriff Bob Norris of Kootenai County said there are people in the Canfield Mountain area whom they haven't been able to reach.
The number of shooters hasn't been confirmed. At this time, no officers have been injured.
Multiple heroic firefighters were attacked today while responding to a fire in North Idaho. This is a heinous direct assault on our brave firefighters. I ask all Idahoans to pray for them and their families as we wait to learn more. Teresa and I are heartbroken.
