Wess Roley, a 20-year-old, has been identified as the suspect in the fatal ambush shooting of two firefighters in Coeur d’Alene, Idaho. Authorities report that Roley allegedly set a fire on Canfield Mountain to lure the firefighters before opening fire. The motive remains unclear.
Unverified social media reports claim Roley was born in Russia and later lived in several US states, including Florida, New York, and Arizona, before relocating to Idaho to work for his father’s company. All these posts cite the Associated Press (AP) as the source, but the original AP reports do not mention these details, particularly Roley’s alleged Russian birthplace. As such, this information remains unverified at this time.
