Authorities identified the suspect as Wess Roley. Kootenai County Sheriff Bob Norris said it appeared he had been living in his car, and authorities did not know why he was in the area.

The sniper who shot dead two firefighters in an ambush in Idaho was identified Monday as 20-year-old Wess Roley — and an eerie photo shows him delivering a sinister glare into the camera.
