Wess Roley was identified as the 20-year-old shooter who killed two firefighters in an ambush in Idaho. Roley’s body was found near his weapon at the scene of the fire that he started to lure the firefighters.

It’s unclear if he died by suicide or was killed during an exchange. Although the police kept details about the killer under wraps, social media users fervently investigated and shared his background.

Who Was Wess Roley – The Idaho Shooter?

  • Roley was a man and was 20 years of old, Associated Press reported.
  • He started the fire to ambush the firefighters deliberately before opening fire on them.
  • The motive of his attack is yet to be ascertained. He was found dead next to his weapon; however, the authorities are probing the cause of his death.
  • Some reports claim Roley was from Russia and had previously lived in Florida and New York.
  • Some unconfirmed reports suggest that he shifted from Arizona to Idaho to work at the company run by his father.

Wess Roley’s parents rumored to be MAGA supporters

A photo of a couple sporting MAGA hats was shared, claiming they were Wess Roley’s mother and stepfather.
There were claims on social media that Wess Roley was born in Russia and had previously assaulted a woman with a knife.
The purported Facebook account of his mother, Heather Lynn, went viral.

Some reports claimed that Wess Roley lived with his family in Coeur d’Alene and that his family had reported his
threatening behavior to the authorities. A no-contact order was granted to his family members. Reports added that
he deeply disliked his family’s support of President Trump and had become increasingly angry about it in recent months.

Catturd insinuates Wess Roley was trans

Right-wing troll Catturd posted some unverified photos of Wess Roley and insinuated that he was trans.

The Idaho ambush began around 2 pm Sunday on Canfield Mountain, just north of Coeur d’Alene, when smoke started pouring from the woods and first responders rushed to the scene where they were fired upon from behind the trees.

Firefighters realized they were lured into a trap and desperately called for backup.
“I’m pinned down,” a firefighter said in the frantic call. “It’s clear to me that this fire was set intentionally to draw us in.”

The attacker used high-powered rifles, the sheriff said, and made it clear that they had no intention of surrendering.

According to the Gun Violence Archive, there have been 189 mass shootings in the US so far this year, AFP reported. The group defines a mass shooting as an incident where at least four people, not including the shooter, are killed or injured.
