ORIGINAL - 3 p.m. June 29

Emergency personnel and law enforcement are responding to a major emergency in Coeur d'Alene Sunday afternoon.

We're working to confirm what is being broadcast on the scanner, which is that fire crews responding to a wildfire were ambushed and shot.

While we don't typically report scanner information, reporters in the area are seeing wildfire smoke in the area of E. Nettleton Gulch Road. We're also seeing emergency crews blocking roads in the area. Emergency responders are staging at Kootenai Health and at least one medical helicopter has responded to the area.

4 News Now journalists have also seen law enforcement respond from the Spokane area, heading to the scene.

This is a rapidly developing story and will be updated as we get more information.

UDPATE at 4:08 p.m. June 29 - Kootenai County Emergency Management expanded the shelter in place to everything south of Hayden Lake Road and east of 15th Street in Coeur d'Alene.

The original shelter in place was set for the area of Canfield Mountain Trailhead and Nettleton Gulch Road.

COEUR D'ALENE, Idaho -- UPDATE at 5:00 pm on June 29 - The Kootenai County Sheriff says he doesn't know how many gunmen are shooting at law enforcement on Canfield Mountain in Coeur d'Alene.

Sheriff Bob Norris said in a news conference Sunday afternoon that officers are "actively taking sniper fire."

"We don't know if there's one, two, three or four," Sheriff Norris said.


The sheriff confirmed two people are dead, most likely firefighters. He said there are more people on the mountain they haven't been able to reach, which could include people who live in the area or people who were hiking there this afternoon.

Sheriff Norris said the call about the brush fire came in around 1:22 Sunday afternoon. At 2 pm, firefighters reported there were shots fired.

Norris said the gunman or gunmen show "no sign of wanting to surrender" and that he's hoping law enforcement can get a clean shot to "neutralize" the shooter or shooters.

He said no law enforcement officers have been shot.

The sheriff said he expects to update the situation later Sunday evening, but wasn't sure what time.
 
This will end well. (The Sheriff has made no such call, but there will be idiots that believe this tweet.)

That area has been a haven for looney anti government/racist nut jobs for awhile now. They live very much off the grid. My friend had a wedding in Sandpoint about 4 or 5 years ago and you could tell there was some real nutters out there.

It’s where every guy who says “I was a sniper in Afghanistan” takes their 16-year old girlfriends.
 
Friends of mine moved to Idaho for lower cost of living and lives fell apart. Haven't made friends. New house turned out to be on main road and trucks go past 24/7. Neither can find steady work. They are actually conservative but people hear they came from California and flip them the bird.

I have a cousin who lives in Idaho (wasn't from there, moved there), and he said something interesting. Like Oregonians and Washingtonians, they hate Californians. BUT what they really hate, more than anything is just people not from Idaho.

And in the area he lives, if you're not Mormon, it's even worse.

As much as some Oregonians bitch about Californians, I think most are still nice to them. I think rural towns bitch more about Portland than California.

Idaho sucks. Ive stayed their a couple times. Their drivers suck too.
 
I've got a Coeur d’Alene / Kootenai County story that involves $30k, a TV, and Blackwater.

And it's only a story I will tell in person.

I would agree, for the most part, that Portlanders don't honestly care. And not just because there's enough of them in the region that they've taken over. We just got more important things to worry about.

Like where I am going to get my oat milk latte
 
Go to Wikipedia. Type in Richard Butler and click around for awhile. You’ll find out that area of Idaho has been a hotbed of racism and anti government nuts going on 40 years now

Ruby Ridge too.

What's weird is how often you hear that the kkk was started by Democrats, and that they're the "real racists", yet all those fuckers voted for Trump and fly his stupid ass flag

I'm sure it's some kind of revenge thing. These people (and yes, I'm saying "these people") usually have limited brain power and associate things based on dates.

If you ever feel the need to kill brain cells, go down those rabbit holes and see how often they try to connect dates with things, or think the dates or numbers are codes for something else. I.e., the 88 which H is the 8th letter in the alphabet, so 88 = HH (not to be confused with Hulk Hogan, who himself is a whole other shit stain).

Throw into that a lot of mental illness and rabble rousing done by the right, and you have a recipe for this kind of shit.

These aren't the brightest people in our society, but we don't want to do anything about it.
