Suspect in deadly Idaho ambush previously wanted to be a firefighter: Sheriff

The gunman suspected of fatally ambushing firefighters responding to a blaze in Coeur d’Alene, Idaho, on Sunday has been identified as a 20-year-old man who once wanted to be a firefighter, according to law enforcement officials.

Wess Roley, 20, who was found dead after an hourslong, multi-agency manhunt in the area, has been identified as the shooter, multiple senior law enforcement officials briefed on the investigation told ABC News.

Responding SWAT team members located a deceased male on Canfield Mountain with a shotgun nearby, the Kootenai County Sheriff’s Office said. It appears he shot himself, according to Kootenai County Sheriff Robert Norris.

Two people are dead after firefighters were ambushed by a gunman, or multiple gunmen, while responding to a brush fire in Coeur d’Alene, Idaho, officials said.

There is no indication of a motive at this time in the attack that killed two firefighters and injured a third, Norris said at a press briefing Monday afternoon.

Investigators learned that at one point, Roley wanted to be a firefighter, Norris said, adding, “We don’t know if there’s a nexus to that desire and what happened yesterday.”

The names of the two fallen firefighters were also made public on Monday.

Frank Harwood, 42, was a battalion chief with the Kootenai County Fire & Rescue Department, where he was a 17-year veteran of the department. Battalion Chief John Morrison, 52, of the Coeur d’Alene Fire Department, had been with the department for more than 28 years.

“This was a total ambush,” Norris said during a press briefing on Sunday. “These firefighters did not have a chance.”

The firefighter who was injured in the attack, suffered a gunshot wound and was taken to the Kootenai Health Hospital, the medical center confirmed to ABC News. He was identified Monday as Dave Tysdal, 47, a 23-year veteran of the Coeur d’Alene Fire Department.

Law enforcement in the county had five prior interactions with Roley, 20, but they were “minor in nature,” according to Norris. They included welfare checks and a trespassing incident in which Roley was asked to leave and cooperated, he said.

Investigators have not yet done an inventory of Roley’s vehicle, which “would be a good place to start” in determining a motive, Norris said. Responding deputies pushed the vehicle off the side of a mountain so that the suspect could not flee, and it currently remains in an embankment, Norris said.

Authorities are looking into Roley’s social media presence, the sheriff said.

Roley is believed to have been born in California and has had prior residences in Arizona and Idaho, the sheriff said, noting it appeared he had been living out of his vehicle.

Law enforcement officials believe Roley started the brush fire on Canfield Mountain and began shooting at first responders when they came to put the fire out.

“Roley was found to have a flint starter, and we believe that was his method for starting the fire that eventually led to firefighters responding,” Norris said.

Authorities are investigating a “discussion” Roley had with firefighters when they came on the scene, the sheriff said.

Authorities shared an image of a social media post of suspect Wess Roley during a press conference in Hayden, Idaho, June 30, 2025.

Norris said authorities have received reports that the gunman was shooting at first responders from a tree. Roley “grew up in an arborist family” and did have experience climbing trees, the sheriff said.

His family said they “intend to fully cooperate with authorities in seeking answers.”

“At this time, we, the family of Wess Roley would like to offer our most heartfelt condolences to the families of those whose lives were taken and to the community of Coeur d’Alene at large,” the family said in a statement shared by an attorney representing Roley’s stepfather. “There are no words that can suffice for this tragedy and the infinite losses suffered by those affected by this shooting. We do not understand why this happened or how this came about.”

“Our hearts and spirits are broken for the lost and hurting, and for our own loss as well,” the statement continued.

Two people are dead after firefighters were ambushed by a gunman while responding to a brush fire in Coeur d’Alene, Idaho, officials said.

The incident unfolded on Sunday afternoon, police said. Norris said the first report regarding the small brush fire was received at 1:21 p.m. Around 2 p.m., firefighters reported they were being shot at.

Some 300 law enforcement officers gathered at the scene, some of whom exchanged gunfire with the suspect, Norris said. Responding authorities received offers of help from the White House and FBI Director Kash Patel, the sheriff added.

At 6:30 p.m., those on the scene were told that the suspect should be neutralized as soon as possible. The notification that the suspect was dead was received at 7:40 p.m., Norris said. Law enforcement recovered the body before the fire spread to the spot, the sheriff said.

Based on the trajectory of the fire and the weapon found close to the suspect’s body, Norris said officials believe there was only one shooter.

The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives told ABC News its focus on Monday will be on tracing the weapon.

The shelter-in-place order has been lifted for Canfield Mountain Trailhead and the surrounding area, but residents are advised to monitor for updates on the ongoing fire.

The FBI assisted authorities in Kootenai County, an agency spokesperson told ABC News.

Idaho Gov. Brad Little called the incident a “heinous direct assault on our brave firefighters.”

“Multiple heroic firefighters were attacked today while responding to a fire in North Idaho,” Little wrote in a post on X. “I ask all Idahoans to pray for them and their families as we wait to learn more,” he added.

71 killed in Israeli attack on Iran prison, official says

President Donald Trump told ABC News on Tuesday morning he is “not happy” with either Israel or Iran after the opening hours of a nascent ceasefire between the two combatants were marred by reported exchanges. Trump said Iran and Israel both “violated” the ceasefire that he announced late on Monday.

Through last week, the president and his administration continued to push back on an early intelligence report suggesting that the U.S. strikes on Iranian nuclear facilities may have only set Tehran’s nuclear program back by months.

Top Israeli official to travel to Washington on Monday

Israeli Minister for Strategic Affairs Ron Dermer — a top adviser to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu — will arrive in Washington, D.C. on Monday for talks with President Donald Trump’s administration, an Israeli official told ABC News.

Dermer’s visit is expected to include discussions on the war in the Gaza Strip, the recent conflict with Iran and Netanyahu’s planned visit to the White House next month.

71 killed in Israeli attack on Iranian prison, official says

The Israeli airstrike on Tehran’s Evin Prison on June 23 killed 71 people, according to a spokesperson for the Iranian judiciary quoted by the semi-official Iranian ISNA News Agency.

Asghar Jahangir said Sunday that victims included “the prison’s administrative staff, conscripts, prisoners, families of prisoners who were at the prison to visit or pursue their cases in court and neighbors who lived near the prison.”

The Israeli strike on Evin was part of a wave of attacks on what Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz said were “regime targets and government bodies in the heart of Tehran.”

The attack on the prison prompted criticism. Nobel Peace Prize laureate and imprisoned Iranian human rights activist Narges Mohammadi, for example, said the attack was “undoubtedly a clear example of a war crime.”

United Nations human rights spokesperson Thameen Al-Kheetan said Evin “is not a military objective and targeting it constitutes a grave breach of international humanitarian law.”

The Israel Defense Forces claimed the strike was conducted in a “targeted manner in order to avoid harming uninvolved people,” but families of prisoners have expressed serious concerns about the safety of their loved ones. Several accounts on Iranian media describe scenes in which civilians and prisoners were injured or killed.

There are also reports of prisoners being moved from Evin to other prisons in Tehran, raising concerns among families and human rights activists.

Trump doesn’t believe Iran hid uranium before strikes

President Donald Trump does not believe Iran hid its enriched uranium before the U.S. launched strikes on its nuclear facilities, he told Fox News in an interview.

“I don’t think they did. No, first of all, it’s very hard to do. It’s very dangerous to do, it is very heavy, very, very heavy. It’s a very hard thing to do plus we didn’t give much notice because they didn’t know we were coming until just then. And nobody thought we’d go after that site because everybody said that site is impenetrable,” Trump said.

“They moved themselves, they were all trying to live, they didn’t move anything,” Trump said.

Senate votes down Iran War Powers Resolution

Senate Republicans did not agree to push forward a resolution on Friday that would block President Donald Trump’s ability to use additional military force against Iran without explicit authorization from Congress.

By a vote of 53-47, a motion to advance Democratic Sen. Tim Kaine of Virginia’s measure invoking the 1973 War Powers Resolution failed, with Democratic Sen. John Fetterman of Pennsylvania — a staunch supporter of Israel — joining Republicans in opposing it.

One Republican, Sen. Rand Paul of Kentucky, crossed party lines to support the measure, which would have needed just a simple majority of 51 votes to pass.

Seven Republicans currently serving in the Senate voted for a similar Iran resolution back in 2020 — a measure that was also championed by Kaine.

Ahead of the vote on Friday, one of those Republicans — Sen. Todd Young of Indiana – said that he “does not believe an Iran war powers resolution is necessary at this time,” in the wake of a security briefing held on Thursday by top members of Trump’s cabinet.

The resolution that failed on Friday would have required that any further hostilities with Iran have authorization by a declaration of war or an authorization of military force from Congress.

Kaine introduced the measure a few days before the U.S. bombed three of Iran’s critical nuclear sites.

On Friday during a speech on the Senate floor, Kaine said there is a prevailing need for the measure due to the shaky nature of the current ceasefire between Iran and Israel, which was announced by Trump earlier this week.

“I pray the ceasefire continues, but I fear we’re going to be back here on this floor,” he said. “And I hope when we are on this floor again, members of this body will stand for the proposition that has been part of our history — that war is too big an issue to allow one person to make the decision that sends our sons and daughters into harm’s way.”

GOP’s Susan Collins cites Medicaid cuts as reason she voted no

Sen. Susan Collins of Maine, who quickly left after casting her vote on Tuesday, pinned her opposition to the bill on the “harmful impact it will have on Medicaid.”

“I strongly support extending the tax relief for families and small businesses. My vote against this bill stems primarily from the harmful impact it will have on Medicaid, affecting low-income families and rural health care providers like our hospitals and nursing homes,” the Republican wrote in a statement.

Collins said 400,000 of her constituents — nearly a third of the state’s population — depend on Medicaid.

Trump admin live updates: Vance casts tie-breaking vote to pass megabill in Senate

After three days of debate and drama, the Senate narrowly passed President Donald Trump’s giant tax and immigration bill on Tuesday.

Vice President JD Vance cast the tie-breaking vote after a 50-50 tally, with three Republicans voting against the sprawling measure.

The bill must now go to the House for final approval. But it could face some issues there, especially among GOP fiscal hawks, as the Senate version is projected to add roughly $1 trillion more to the deficit than what the House passed back in May.

Speaker Mike Johnson says House will start work ‘immediately’

Speaker Mike Johnson and top Republican leaders announced in a statement that the House will consider the bill “immediately for final passage” — with renewed intent to put the measure on President Trump’s desk by July 4.

“The House will work quickly to pass the One Big Beautiful Bill that enacts President Trump’s full America First agenda by the Fourth of July. The American people gave us a clear mandate, and after four years of Democrat failure, we intend to deliver without delay,” the leaders said.

“This bill is President Trump’s agenda, and we are making it law. House Republicans are ready to finish the job,” they added.

The House Rules Committee will convene at 1:30 p.m. ET on Tuesday to markup the bill and set parameters for floor debate and consideration of the bill.

Trump tells ABC he believes bill will ‘go very nicely’ in House

ABC News Chief White House Correspondent Mary Bruce pressed President Trump on House Republicans who say they are unhappy with the changes the Senate made to the bill.

“What is your message to those holdouts?” Bruce asked the president.

“Well, I just heard that about the Senate, and the bill just passed, and it tells you there’s something for everyone,” Trump said. “I mean, we have — it’s a great bill. There is something for everyone, and I think it’s going to go very nicely in the House. Actually, I think it will be easier in the House than it was in the Senate.”

ABC’s Bruce also followed up with asking Trump about the cuts to Medicaid that the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office projects would cause 11.8 million Americans to lose their insurance.

Trump said he believed the amount of people who would lose coverage would be less than projected, but did not say where he was getting such data or analysis from.

“I’m saying it’s going to be a very much smaller number than that and that number will be waste, fraud and abuse,” he said.

‘Wow’: Trump reacts in real time to Senate passing his legislation

President Trump learned about the Senate passage of his domestic policy bill during a roundtable event as he toured the so-called “Alligator Alcatraz” migrant detention center in Florida.

“I was also wondering how we doing, because I know this is prime time, it shows that I care about you, because I’m here and I probably should be there, but we do care,” Trump said.

Trump said that he will be going back to Washington to celebrate.

“We’re gonna finish over here, and then we’ll go over there. We’ll go back and celebrate the big, beautiful bill,” Trump said. Though notably, Democrats had the title “One Big Beautiful Bill Act” stricken just before the final vote.

“You sure that’s right?” Trump asked the reporter when informed of the results.

“Wow,” was Trump’s response when he was told the information was correct.

Senate in a state of paralysis as procedural vote on ‘One Big Beautiful Bill’ hangs open on the floor

The Senate floor is currently in a bit of a state of paralysis as Senate Republicans try to eke out the necessary votes to begin debate on the “One Big Beautiful Bill.’

The vote tally on the floor stands at 47-50. Three Republicans — Sens. Mike Lee, Rick Scott and Cynthia Lummis — still need to cast votes. All three of them will need to vote in favor of this bill in order to keep it moving forward.

The procedural vote on whether to begin debate on the bill has been open for nearly two hours. Vice President JD Vance arrived over an hour ago to prepare to cast the tie-breaking vote.

Even if Republicans get the necessary votes to proceed tonight, there’s no guarantee they’ll have enough votes when it comes to final passage. Some senators who cast votes to proceed tonight have been non-committal about how they’ll vote on final passage.

‘One Big Beautiful Bill’ clears 1st procedural hurdle 51-49 after dramatic vote that lasted almost 4 hours

The Senate voted to advance the “One Big Beautiful Bill,” kicking off a lengthy process that GOP leadership hopes will end in its final passage.

For much of the night, it was believed that Vice President JD Vance would be required to cast a tie-breaking vote.

But at the last minute, Sen. Ron Johnson switched his no vote to a yes, giving Republican senators the votes they needed to advance the legislation.

Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer also made official his request for the clerk to read the roughly 1,000 page bill in its entirely. She started at 11:08 p.m.

It could take her 15 hours to read every line, according to estimates.

Just because Senate Republicans mustered up the votes to get the process going doesn’t mean they’re in the clear.

There are a number of Republican senators who said they’d vote to advance the bill today but have not committed to casting a vote on final passage.

Iran will not change its position on nuclear program, foreign ministry says

Iran will not change its position regarding its nuclear program despite the military action taken by the U.S. and Israel, Esmaeil Baghaei, a foreign ministry spokesperson, told Iranian state media on Thursday.

“We have shown that pressure, intimidation, threats, and even the use of naked force against a sovereign state, in violation of all international standards and norms, cannot undermine our rights. Our rights remain intact,” Baghaei told IRNA in a lengthy interview published Thursday.

Baghaei also addressed accusations that Iran was looking to prolong the negotiations with the U.S. that had been scheduled to take place in Oman before Israel attacked.

“All of these cases show that the American side was not serious about the negotiations from the beginning. But this does not diminish the value of the actions of the Islamic Republic of Iran. In my opinion, Iran’s entry into these negotiations truly exposed the hypocrisy and lies of the other side,” Baghaei said.

“History will record that in the midst of a diplomatic process between Iran and a party that considers itself a global power, Iran’s logic prevailed, and they failed to meet this logic. For this reason, they encouraged and supported their proxy in the region to attack Iran,” Baghaei added.

On the calls to resume negotiations with the U.S. over Iran’s nuclear program, Baghaei said, “First, we never trusted the other side. Because sometimes some words are used, such as ‘the recent incident caused trust between Iran and America to decrease’ or ‘to disappear,’ while we basically never trusted [them]. One of the reasons for this is the events that we are witnessing now. We were talking to the other side in an atmosphere of absolute distrust. The reason for this distrust is their history of breaking promises.”

Iran has not reached an agreement to resume negotiations with the US, Iranian FM says

Iran has not reached an agreement to return to negotiations with the U.S. on its nuclear program and no date for a potential meeting to re-start the negotiations has been set, the Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said on Iranian state TV Thursday.

Araghchi said speculation about negotiations resuming should not be taken seriously.

“I would like to state clearly that no agreement, appointment or conversation has been made to start new negotiations,” Araghchi said.

Araghchi also said the negotiations between the U.S. and Iran will only be more difficult after the U.S. and Israel’s military actions.

“The next negotiations won’t be any easier for the Americans compared to the previous ones,” Araghchi said. “Human beings have been killed for it. It’s not possible to make an agreement on it as easy as before.”

Iran still evaluating if and how they will continue work with IAEA, remain in NPT, Iranian FM says

Iran is still evaluating if and how they will work with the International Atomic Energy Agency in light of a new bill passed in Iran’s Parliament Thursday, Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said on Iranian state TV Thursday.

Whether or not Iran will stay in the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons Treaty, also known as the NPT, needs to be investigated, Araghchi said. Iran will “act accordingly with the interest of the country,” he added.

One of the reasons Iran cannot maintain the same relationship with the IAEA as it had before the 12-day war is because the IAEA did not condemn Israel and the US’s attacks on Iran’s nuclear facilities, he said.

“The IAEA Director-General should have done this,” referring to condemning Israel and the U.S.’s attacks on Iran’s’ nuclear facilities, Araghchi said. “Attacking nuclear facilities is an unforgivable crime from international law.”

Araghchi said the law passed by Iran’s Parliament will be further investigated by the Iranian government and said the new law hasn’t completely blocked a path for cooperation with the IAEA.

“We need to perform more legal work on this law and decide how we can set our relations with the IAEA,” Araghchi said.

The IAEA inspections have stopped inside Iran, Araghchi said.
