Firefighters were ambushed by a gunman while responding to a brush fire in Coeur d'Alene, Idaho, on Sunday, according to the local sheriff's office.

The two slain firefighters, who have not been identified, died on the way to the Kootenai Health campus in Coeur d’Alene, a hospital spokesperson said. One was from the Coeur D’Alene Fire Department, and the other was from Kootenai County Fire and Rescue, authorities said.

Two firefighters were killed and a third wounded Sunday, June 29, when they were shot as they responded to a wildfire on an Idaho mountain that was set to lure them into an ambush, authorities said.
