What we know about Wess Roley, the 20-year-old suspect in the Idaho fire shooting
The suspect who police believe gunned down two firefighters Sunday after starting a brush fire in Idaho wanted to pursue a career as a firefighter himself, his grandfather told CNN. Wess Roley, 20, was identified by a law enforcement official as the suspect in the shooting in Coeur d'Alene, Idaho, which left two firefighters responding to the blaze dead and injured a third. Roley was found dead at the scene. Roley's grandfather, Dale Roley, told CNN his grandson came from a family of arborists and had been working in the tree service industry while trying to figure out his career path. 'He wanted to be a fireman – he was doing tree work and he wanted to be a fireman in the forest,' Dale Roley said. 'As far as I know, he was actually pursuing it.' Wess Roley owned a shotgun and a long rifle, his grandfather said, but it's unclear whether the attack – which authorities described as a sniper ambush – was carried out with those firearms. Dale Roley said he typically spoke with his grandson on a weekly basis, but they hadn't spoken in the last month because Wess Roley had lost his phone. He said the suspect had loving family and friends, and he vacationed in Hawaii with his mother last year, according to social media posts. 'It wasn't like he was a loner,' Dale Roley told CNN. 'We had no reason to suspect that he would be involved in something like this.' He said he was holding out hope that his grandson wasn't actually the shooter. The suspect had previously lived in the Phoenix area, according to public records. A running website said that he ran track at a high school in the area and was a member of the school's class of 2024. Court documents show that Roley had a tumultuous family life growing up. His mother filed for divorce in September 2015, when her son was 10 years old, and wrote in court documents that her husband had threatened her, pushed her to the ground, and 'punched several holes in the walls.' 'He threatened to sit outside my house with a sniper rifle or burn my house down,' she wrote. A judge granted a protective order preventing Roley's father from having contact with his wife or son, but later amended the order to remove the son after his father wrote in a court filing that 'I am not a danger to my son or anyone else' and that his wife 'did not tell the truth in her statement.' The divorce was granted in November 2015, and Roley's mother was designated as his 'primary residential parent.' Roley's father told a CNN reporter outside his home in Priest River, Idaho, that he wasn't close with his son and hadn't seen him since a family gathering last year. He didn't respond to follow-up phone calls about the decade-old allegations in the court documents. The suspect's mother also didn't answer phone calls Monday morning. CNN's Isabelle Chapman, Curt Devine and Majlie de Puy Kamp contributed to this report.

2 Dallas residents sentenced after pleading guilty to selling over $600,000 of fentanyl
Two Dallas residents have been sentenced to 15 years in prison after pleading guilty to distributing over $600,000 worth of fentanyl, according to the United States Attorney's Office, Northern District of Texas. In October, Christle Nadia Ruiz, 22, and Ricardo Antonio Flores, 29, pleaded guilty to charges of possession with intent to distribute 40 grams or more of fentanyl. They were sentenced on June 26 to 188 months each in prison. Flores and Ruiz lived together and sold fentanyl out of a home in Dallas, USAO said. In February 2023, Flores sold 1,000 fentanyl pills and another 1,000 fentanyl pills in March 2023. Both times in exchange for $2,000. In April 2023, Ruiz received a shipment of approximately 50,000 fentanyl pills that she and Flores were planning to distribute, USAO said. On the same day, while officers executed a search warrant at their home, Ruiz attempted to flush several fentanyl pills down the toilet. Fentanyl found during the search of Flores and Ruiz's home in Dallas. United States Attorney's Office Northern District of Texas Ruiz also allegedly received approximately 10,000 fentanyl pills about a month before the search warrant was executed. According to USAO, she used a social media account with the phrases "Happy vibes . . . Thug Paradise," advertising the sale of fentanyl. "The staggering amount of fentanyl in this case would have caused far-reaching devastation to our families and community, but for the tremendous efforts of our law enforcement partners in apprehending these defendants and keeping this deadly poison off the streets," said acting United States Attorney Nancy Larson. "We are resolved to relentlessly pursue these offenders and seek the lengthy prison sentences they deserve."
