Wess Roley ID’d as alleged suspect in Iowa firefighter shooting 

The alleged sniper who shot dead two firefighters and wounded a third in an ambush attack in Idaho has been named as Wess Roley by law enforcement.

Roley’s body was found near his weapon at the scene of a fire he allegedly started on Sunday afternoon, a law enforcement official told the Associated Press on Monday.

It is unclear whether he was killed by a cop’s bullet or if he took his own life, Kootenai County Sheriff Robert Norris told a press conference on Sunday.

The two firefighters who were killed in the suspected ambush on Canfield Mountain just north of Coeur d’Alene are yet to be identified.

A third firefighter was left “fighting for his life” after he was struck by a bullet, but is now described as being in a stable condition.
