2 killed in sniper ambush as Idaho firefighters come under siege from rifle fire
Law enforcement officers gather at Cherry Hill Park after multiple firefighters were attacked when responding to a fire in the Canfield Mountain area outside Coeur d'Alene, Idaho, U.S. June 29, 2025. REUTERS/Young Kwak BOISE (AP): Firefighters were ambushed by sniper fire while responding to a blaze in a northern Idaho mountain community Sunday (June 29) (Mountain Daylight Time), killing at least two people and unleashing barrages of gunfire over several hours in an attack the governor called a "heinous" assault. The Kootenai County Sheriff's Office said crews responded to a fire at Canfield Mountain just north of Coeur d'Alene around 1.30pm, and gunshots were reported about a half hour later. Sheriff Bob Norris said officials believe the two people killed were fire personnel. He didn't know if anyone else had been shot. "We don't know how many suspects are up there, and we don't know how many casualties there are," Norris told reporters at a 4.30pm news conference. "We are actively taking sniper fire as we speak." People are still coming off the mountain, the sheriff said, so it "would be safe to assume" that others were still up there. Gov. Brad Little said "multiple" firefighters were attacked. "This is a heinous direct assault on our brave firefighters," Little said on the social platform X. "I ask all Idahoans to pray for them and their families as we wait to learn more." Norris said it appeared the sniper was hiding in the rugged terrain and using a high-powered rifle. He said he instructed deputies to fire back. "I'm hoping that somebody has a clear shot and is able to neutralise, because they're not at this point in time showing any evidence of wanting to surrender," the sheriff said. An alert by the Kootenai County Emergency Management Office asked people to avoid the area around Canfield Mountain Trailhead and Nettleton Gulch Road, about 4 miles (6.5km) north of downtown Coeur d'Alene. The fire was still active, Norris said. "It's going to keep burning," he said. "Can't put any resources on it right now." The FBI has responded to the scene with technical teams and tactical support, Deputy Director Dan Bongino said. "It remains an active, and very dangerous scene," he wrote in a post on X. Coeur d'Alene is a city of 55,000 residents near the border with Washington. Canfield Mountain is a popular hiking and biking area on the outskirts, covered with trees and heavy brush and crisscrossed with trails. – AP

Blue Origin slated to launch all-female flight into space
EL PASO, Texas (KTSM) – Space technology company Blue Origin is scheduled to launch an all-female flight into space Monday morning, April 14 from its West Texas launch site outside of Van Horn. The launch window begins at 7:30 a.m. Mountain Daylight Time. The flight passengers are: singer/pop star Katy Perry; journalist Gayle King; civil rights activist and research scientist Amanda Nguyen; former NASA scientist and entrepreneur Aisha Bowe; film producer Kerianne Flynn; and journalist Lauren Sanchez, who also is the fiancee of Amazon and Blue origin founder Jeff Bezos. The flight will take them up to the Karman line, which is the internationally recognized boundary of space. They will be traveling on Blue Origin's New Shepard, the company's fully reusable, suborbital rocket system built for humans. Here is what Blue Origin had to say about its New Shepard system, which was named after Alan Shepard, the first American in space. 'During the 11-minute journey, astronauts soar past the Kármán line (100 km/62 miles), the internationally recognized boundary of space, experiencing several minutes of weightlessness and witnessing life-changing views of Earth. The vehicle is fully autonomous — there are no pilots.' This will be Blue Origin's 11th human flight and 31st overall. Liftoff will be from the space technology company's Launch Site One, which is about 30 miles north of Van Horn. Many are dubbing this the first all-female space flight. That is not accurate. Soviet cosmonaut Valentina Tereshkova became the first woman in space when she orbited the Earth in June 1963. It was a solo flight for Tereshkova. Tereshkova spent almost three days in space during her solo mission. According to Tereshkova remains the youngest woman to fly to space, the only female astronaut or cosmonaut to make a solo space journey and the first civilian to go to space. Here is a link to Blue Origin's website where you can watch a webcast of the countdown and mission. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.
