Kootenai County Sheriff Bob Norris addresses the press following a deadly snip$r ambush on Canfield Mountain, near Coeur d'Alene, Idaho.
Two firefighters were fatally shot while responding to a wildfire, as law enforcement took $niper fire for hours.
The shooter remains at large in the rugged mountain terrain, and the area is still considered extremely dangerous.
The FBI has joined local and state authorities in a massive manhunt.
Governor Brad Little has called it a "heinous assault" on first responders.
This live press conference gives crucial updates on the shooter situation, casualties, law enforcement response, and the ongoing wildfire that crews can’t access due to the threat.
Ahead of the United States' Independence Day celebrations, federal agencies have issued a serious warning about potential terrorist attacks, specifically from lone wolf actors. This elevated threat level is a direct consequence of escalating tensions in the Middle East, where the U.S. has become more involved in the ongoing Israel-Iran conflict. The situation intensified after U.S. B-2 Spirit bombers conducted a major operation on June 22, dropping heavy bunker buster bombs on three of Iran's nuclear facilities in a strategic move to aid Israel.
In response to the potential for retaliatory attacks, security has been visibly bolstered across the country. New York Governor Kathy Hochul has identified lone wolves as the "greatest threat" to July 4th events, announcing an increased presence of State Police and the deployment of National Guard units at major transportation hubs, bridges, and tunnels throughout New York City. Authorities are also closely monitoring social media for any signs of cyber threats or domestic terror plots.
The threat is not limited to New York. An FBI bulletin has specifically warned that San Francisco's famous fireworks show could be a target for a mass casualty attack. The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has officially raised the national threat level to "Heightened" and stated it will remain in effect until September 22, citing the direct link to the escalating conflict between Iran and the U.S. While no specific or credible plots have been identified, federal and state agencies remain on high alert to counter any security situation that may arise during the holiday.

U.S. President Donald Trump has accused Democrats of leaking classified intel about U.S. airstrikes on Iranian nuclear sites, branding it a “perfect flight” betrayal. He demanded prosecution, despite the FBI finding no direct evidence implicating any political party. The leak revealed that Iran’s nuclear capacity was only delayed by months, contradicting Trump’s claims of a full strike success. While Trump lashes out, the White House urges caution, and intelligence agencies brace for more fallout. Lawmakers are set for briefings, as political tensions rise over national security leaks.
