When I lived in St Louis, MO some guy set a truck on fire and pushed it out into the main street and shot at everyone that came to help then burned down the house he was sniping from with himself inside.
Not really sure why, but these kinds of attacks, while uncommon, do happen.
Firefighters and EMTs are like the only public servants on wheels worth caring about.

  Yeah, if it was cops getting shot I'd be cheering, but since it's fire that's why I made the post.
Coeur d'Alene is probably the biggest neo-Nazi stronghold I can think of in that area. Unlimited death on the shooter.
- Guess it's going to be a feral fash who set up an ambush for firefighters.
Two people were fatally shot and others injured while responding to a brush fire in Coeur d’Alene, Idaho, and at least one active shooter continues to fire at law enforcement with high-powered rifles, according to Kootenai County Sheriff Robert Norris.
“We don’t know if there’s one, two three or four,” shooters, Norris said, with officers reporting bullets coming from multiple directions. “We will neutralize this threat.”
I wonder if they set the fire as an ambush? These cops probably don't get shot at much and might mistake ricochets or the echo as multiple shots, I wouldn't be surprised if it turns out to be one shooter.

  It sounds like it.
- Article says that firefighters had called in with the same speculation
Huh, just saw an episode of Walker, Texas Ranger about this very thing
The Lathe must also be a fan of cheap 90's schlock TV
- Surprised it doesn't happen more often honestly, same with freeway sniping.
  
  Honestly, I'm just waiting for a gang to take a schoolbus full of kids hostage on Halloween so they can sacrifice them to Satan

  I think CHUDs are, and get all their ideas from it, that's the problem.
Someone else posted the flight tracker in the other thread, the #1 most tracked plane was around this shooting. Does anyone know whats going on with this plane, and why its #2?
