Active shooter(s) in Coeur de Alene on Nettleton Gulsh Road East side of the mountain.
Preliminary reports are saying they think one or more persons started a huge brush fire to lure in Firefighters and Police and then ambushed them with shooting. 2 dead so far. Rapid fire ongoing.
Shooters still shooting. They don't know any more. They are trying to evacuate locals off the mountain at the moment.

Meet the parents of the Idaho mass shooter, who lit a forest fire so he could shoot firefighters as they bravely ran into danger.
The most striking aspect of living in America is how atrocities have become a daily occurrence. One day it's a car bomb outside a fertility clinic, the next day it's a man shooting a church; another day it's a man shooting a grocery store; the next day a group firebombing the governor; or trying to kidnap another.
School shootings alone have become near daily tragedies in the United States whereas they are so rare in other countries that some places with millions of residents that have existed for hundreds of years have never had a school shooting.
One would be forgiven for thinking perhaps the spirits of the 80 million indigenous and First Nations people who we robbed for this land are paying us back for the historic crimes we committed against them.
500 years after landing on this continent, 250 some odd years after the nation's founding, and not for a single year have we learned to co-exist without targeting one group or another for extermination.
Have you heard the story of the fish who doesn't know the existence of water? The allegory, as told by author David Foster Wallace among others, highlights how easily we overlook the most fundamental and ever-present aspects of our reality.
The most ever-present reality of living in the United States are the daily acts of right-wing terrorism committed against innocent civilians.
This week it's Idaho, last week it was Minnesota.
Charleston. Charlottesville. Columbine. Oklahoma City. El Paso. Buffalo. Pittsburgh. A gun. A bomb. A car.
