JUST IN – Alleged Idaho sniper ID’d as 20-year-old Wess Roley, per local authorities.
The gunman accused of fatally shooting two firefighters and wounding a third while they responded to a wildfire in Idaho has been identified.
The suspect has been identified as Wess Roley, a law enforcement official told the Associated Press on Monday. The official spoke on the condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to discuss the investigation.
Kootenai County Sheriff Robert Norris declined to release further details about Roley, including his age, occupation, or a possible motive, and said the county coroner would determine the cause of his death.
