Authorities are on the scene of an active shooter and wildfire incident in Coeur d’Alene, Idaho, where several firefighters were “attacked.”

During a news conference, Kootenai County Sheriff Robert Norris shared that at least two people were killed, possibly firefighters. Norris added that they are still “actively taking sniper fire” as he spoke.

“We now have two deaths. We have an unknown amount of casualties,” Norris said. “We still have civilians that are coming off of that mountain. We have we might have civilians that are stuck or in shock on that mountain. So this is a very, very fresh situation.”

“We don’t know who suspect or suspects are, and we don’t know how many suspects there may be,” Norris said. 

A spokesperson for the Northern Lakes Fire Protection confirmed the situation to Fox News Digital, saying that “the active shooter situation and very active wildfire scene were related.”

The Kootenai County Sheriff’s Office issued an alert earlier Sunday afternoon stating: “Active shooter at Canfield Mountain. Injuries have been reported, though the severity remains unknown. Please avoid the area.”

Officials confirmed that the firefighters were responding to a brush fire near East Nettleton Gulch Road when the shooting started.

Due to the danger, fire crews had to retreat, and the brush fire continues to pose a threat. Authorities are urging residents in the vicinity to stay vigilant and exercise caution as the situation develops.

FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino said the agency was headed to the scene to provide “tactical and operational support.” He called it an “active scene.”

Governor Brad Little reacted to the incident in a post on X.

“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,” Little wrote. “As this situation is still developing, please stay clear from the area to allow law enforcement and firefighters to do their jobs.”
