The two people who have been shot and killed are firefighters, CNN reports. Despite the shooting starting more than four hours ago, no one is in custody at this time.
Idaho’s Governor Brad Little took to social media to share a statement about the incident … calling it a “heinous direct assault on our brave firefighters.”
Locals have been asked to stay away from the area as this is still an active shooter situation.
