An armed individual or individuals shot at multiple firefighters responding to a brush fire near Coeur d’Alene, Idaho, on Sunday, likely killing two first responders, according to officials.

“Multiple heroic firefighters were attacked today while responding to a fire in North Idaho,” Governor Brad Little wrote on X. “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.”

The ambush took place as fire crews were responding to a brush fire on Canfield Mountain.

The suspect or suspects is still at large.

Two died as a result of the shooting, Sheriff Bob Norris said at a Sunday afternoon press briefing, and the official said he believed but hadn’t been able to fully confirm they were firefighters.

No police officers have been hit in the shooting, he said.

Pat Riley, Norther Lakes fire chief, told the Idaho Statesman multiple firefighters were hit by an “ambush-style active shooter.”

The incident is under investigation and considered an active shooter situation, with shelter in place orders for Canfield Mountain Trailhead and the surrounding area, the Kootenai County Sheriff’s office told ABC News.

The shooting took place around 2pm and multiple shots were fired, according to the sheriff’s office.

Police are probing whether the fire was set to lure first responders to the area.

The FBI is assisting with the response to the shooting, as is the Spokane County, Washington, sheriff’s office.
