Two firefighters were killed and residents were ordered to shelter in place, but the order was lifted after police found a dead man in the woods.

Idaho authorities confirmed that a sniper who lured firefighters to a blaze they believe he set to ambush them had acted alone and had been found dead.

Firefighters were responding to a blaze in the panhandle of Idaho when the shooting happened, a sheriff said. The body of a suspect was recovered on Sunday evening.
