Two firefighters were killed by gunfire while responding to a brush fire in Coeur d’Alene, a lakeside town in the northwestern US state of Idaho.
The local sheriff’s office reported that a shelter-in-place order was lifted on Sunday night after a tactical team found the body of a man with a firearm nearby. The dead man is believed to be the suspect.
Officials did not disclose his identity or specify the type of weapon recovered.
What happened in Idaho, and when?
Officials said crews responded to a fire at Canfield Mountain in the city at about 1:22pm (20:22 GMT), and gunshots were reported about a half hour later at 2pm (21:00 GMT).
Kootenai County Sheriff Robert Norris said the shooter used high-powered sporting rifles to open rapid fire on first responders.
Two firefighters were killed and, according to authorities, a third one came out of surgery and is in a stable condition but “fighting for his life”.
Norris told reporters on Sunday that authorities believe the suspect intentionally started the fire as “an ambush”.
“We do believe he started it and it was totally intentional what he did,” he added.
However, officials have not spelled out any possible motives for why the suspect might have wanted to ambush the firefighters.
According to reports, more than 300 law enforcement officers and FBI agents responded to the emergency, while police snipers searched the area from helicopters.
Video footage from the area showed smoke rising from forested hillsides, with multiple ambulances and emergency vehicles seen arriving at a local hospital.
Multiple heroic firefighters were attacked today while responding to a fire in North Idaho. This is a heinous direct assault on our brave firefighters. I ask all Idahoans to pray for them and their families as we wait to learn more. Teresa and I are heartbroken.
As this…
Where exactly did it happen?
The Canfield Mountain area is on the eastern outskirts of Coeur d’Alene. It is a popular 24‑acre (10-hectare) natural space featuring hiking and mountain‑biking trails.
Coeur d’Alene, a city of about 55,000 people, is located roughly 260 miles (420 km) east of Seattle.
The mountain is densely covered with trees and thick brush, and its network of trails extends into a national forest.
Who was the shooter?
Based on preliminary evidence, the Kootenai County Sheriff’s Office believes there was only one shooter involved in the attack. Initially, authorities had suspected there might be as many as four.
Authorities located the suspect after detecting mobile phone activity in the area and tracing the signal.
There, they discovered a man who appeared to be deceased with a weapon found nearby. They did not say how the man died, or what firearm was discovered. Norris said that authorities believe the dead man was the shooter. However, the police have not yet revealed his identity.
Police said a man called 911 to report the fire but said that it was unclear if the caller was the gunman.

What do we know about the victims?
Kootenai County officials said they would not release the names of the two firefighters who died.
“Their families will need support,” Sheriff Norris said.
“This is a heinous direct assault on our brave firefighters,” Idaho Governor Brad Little wrote on Facebook.
Officials said the bodies would be transported in a procession to nearby Spokane, Washington, accompanied by a convoy of official vehicles. One of the firefighters was working with the Coeur d’Alene Fire Department; the other served with Kootenai County Fire and Rescue.

Is the area now safe? Was the fire controlled?
The shelter-in-place notice was lifted at 03:50 GMT on Monday.
The wildfire on Canfield Mountain scorched approximately 20 acres (81 hectares), Norris said on Sunday, but no structures were lost in the fire, authorities confirmed.
Dr. Brett Staniland, a sustainable fashion editor, criticizes Kate Moss and Zara’s festival-inspired collection as being “overpriced” and “plastic” and says Gen Z won’t be interested.

A sustainable fashion influencer is calling out Kate Moss and Zara for trying to ‘cheat-code’ their way into a festival edit – completely missing the point of festival dressing. The new collection is “overpriced” and “plastic” according to Dr Brett Staniland, who has accused Zara of haute-washing.
Fast fashion companies make an effort to use marketing and aesthetics to convey to consumers a confused sense of craftsmanship, similar to greenwashing.
Kate Moss partnered with Zara for a second-time, launching a festival-inspired collection on the heels of Glastonbury. The collection features waistcoats, a silk print dress, camisoles, and shorts.

Moss’ Glastonbury style – much like Alexa Chung’s – was era-defining, but Dr Staniland has claimed that Zara is using the famous icon to cover up a low-effort and plastic-heavy collection.
Dr Staniland – known better as TwinBrett on social media – took to TikTok to share his take on the new collection. He told his 31.3k followers that the collection “continues Zara’s and the rest of fast fashion’s ‘haute-washing’; using high-end people and aesthetics to appear more luxury than they are.”
Continue reading the article.
Many businesses increased their investment in high-end products and aesthetic rebrands to monopolize the “quiet luxury” trend without actually investing in top-notch craftsmanship or materials.
Dr. Staniland says, “I don’t know who they’re designing this for.” Gen Z “don’t really care about this style, and I’d even suggest that Kate Moss isn’t that interesting to them.”

He also mentions that thrifting and re-wearing items from years past are at the heart of festival attire. I doubt that festivalgoers will be spending money on these kinds of clothes because it isn’t a glam fest for most people outside of the VIP ropes.
The collection is woefully lacking on the sustainability front, and it also falls short of festival-inspired standards. The collection’s “silk” and “lace” shorts, which are made of only 17% silk and have a 100% polyester lining, are praised by Dr. Staniland, who claims, “plastic weaves its way all the way through this collection.”

The collection is composed of “overpriced, plastic, fast-fashion items” says Dr Staniland, who calls it a “blatant cash-grab” for both Kate Moss and Zara who think they have “cheat-coded their way to easy sales”. The Mirror has reached out to Zara about Dr Staniland’s claims.
Dr Staniland’s advises those looking to get festival-inspired clothes to explore the second-hand market. Ahead of Glastonbury, The Mirror heard from veteran thrifters to understand how they curate their festival looks.

Fans of the 2025 Glastonbury Festival were overjoyed to see Fatboy Slim’s secret set, which included Woody Cook and his son.

Glastonbury Festival 2025 fans were over the moon as Fatboy Slim took to the stage to perform a secret set. The iconic DJ performed to just a few dozen people, with Fatboy Slim, real name Norman Cook, bringing on his son Woody – who he shares with radio star Zoe Ball.
The 61-year-old DJ brought the energy to the small stage while his son Woody, 24, acted as the hype man and danced and bounced around. Fans were delighted by the set and took to the video shared on Instagram to compliment the father-son duo, with one person writing on Woody’s page: “Well done lads.”

“You don’t realize how much we cherish you, Norman. Yes, over 20 years ago, I was on the Brighton beach. Another devoted fan commented, “LEGEND.”
What an amazing thing for a father and son to do, one person said! and another questioned, “Why isn’t it on iplayer?” In an interview with OK!, the 24-year-old son of Fatboy Slim and Zoe Ball recently spoke about his family.
He discussed following in his parents’ footsteps last month when he revealed he was ready to give back to his “heroic” mother and father.

When asked about DJing, he responded, “It’s beautiful. They claim that you never work a day in your life because you adore what you do. I’ve always been a storyteller, and I never intended to work as a DJ, but I adored creating music. Turns out, using sound to tell stories is similar to DJing.
Woody also doesn’t mind people comparing him to his parents as he praised the “heroic people”. He said: “I can’t tell you who I’d be without my parents.
They gave me the best education of all time. My parents are braver than anything else. They have given me the most generous, loving, kind, and hard-working people on Earth.
“I think that’s what I owe it all to,” she said. They are amazing people, no matter who they are in their day-to-day lives.
The Glastonbury band’s “Death to IDF” chants were slammed on stage by Glastonbury executives who declared the punk rap duo had “crossed the line” on Sunday. Police have confirmed that they are looking into the video as a result.
Rod Stewart performed in the Legends slot on Sunday afternoon after Kate Nash, a fellow singer, made fun of the legend on Saturday night.
The rocker received rave reviews, but his set was hampered, including Lulu’s introduction before realizing she would soon be playing on stage.
He made some unexpected remarks about retiring in 2023, including the statement, “I’m not retiring. But I’d like to get moving. I’ve just released a swing album with Jools Holland, which will be released next year, and I’ve had great success with The Great American Songbook and all-American standards. Just for a while, maybe, I just want to leave the rock ‘n’ roll stuff behind.

Sue Cleaver, a Coronation Street legend and Loose Women actress, addresses the “depressing” talk of co-star conflicts as well as her Corrie exit and search for new horizons.

After leaving Weatherfield for good, Sue Cleaver anticipates a summer filled with new adventures and scenic walks. The Hertfordshire-born actress’s final scenes as Coronation Street ‘ s Eileen Grimshaw aired on 6 June and, as she’s quick to tell Love Sunday during our exclusive chat, she is very much about “embracing change and living fearlessly”.
The Loose Women regular, who is now 61, is determined to learn something about herself after 25 years on Corrie. I’ve made significant decisions to change and reinvent myself. This is the time of life when society wants you to just go away quietly”, says Sue.

She continues, “But this is the period, for a lot of women who have put themselves second – because they’ve brought up families, had mortgages, etcetera – when we hit an age and think, ‘ What now? I’m who?
Everything I’ve done in the past year has been about discovery and reinvention. I’d like to say I’m one of life’s learners, and I never stop learning. I’m just starting to question all the assumptions I had about myself as I get really interested in myself.
Her next professional venture will be on stage as she steps up to the screen later this summer for Bolton Octagon’s co-production of Snake In The Grass. It’s especially exciting, she explains, because it’s a” full circle “moment.
Continue reading the article.
My first equity card was issued at the Bolton Octagon Theatre. I must’ve been in eight or nine plays there. It’s quite lovely to be returning to that place at this point in my life.

Of course, we also see the star as an occasional panellist on Loose Women , which is set for some big changes – including losing the studio audience – come January, amid a raft of ITV cuts.
I adore that program. It is fantastic. I’ve known all the girls for years, so, yeah, “she says, when we ask if she’s hoping for more appearances now that her work calendar is less full. What about the rumors about women engaged in combat and at war?
They always prefer to refer to “catfights,” but they don’t mention women, don’t they? They wouldn’t dream of saying that when it’s blokes presenting something. We are actually very close in reality. However, Denise [Welch] and I frequently interact while we are together.
“We’ve known each other for 25 years – we’re close friends and have a sort of shorthand in the way we communicate. I’ve never had a relationship with Denise in my life, despite what the media will say is “massive fallout”! We still have a long way to go, which makes it very depressing.
Sue says she finds the talk of the Loose Women feuding depressing(Image: Ken McKay/ITV/REX/Shutterstock)
Sue has been having a quiet health battle onscreen. She describes having Type 2 diabetes as “running a mental marathon every day” despite having it for 29 years.
In the last three years, she’s relieved some of the mental load by wearing a Dexcom Continuous Glucose Monitor, which provides automatic glucose readings without the need for a finger prick.
“I can’t explain the mental exhaustion you experience; it’s like an app that keeps telling you, “What’s my sugar?” Is my medication working? What can I eat to avoid a spike? ‘
People are subject to “constant brain drain” as a result of diabetes management, which is lifelong and causes decision fatigue as a result of poor food choices and skipped medications. People get completely overwhelmed, and I can totally relate to that. It’s not about being lazy.
Sue says access to accurate readings taken every few minutes means she doesn’t have to constantly debate her eating habits and activity levels.
She also praises teen Fin Gough, a recent Race Across the World competitor, who traveled from northeastern China to southern India with girlfriend Sioned Cray after being diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes at the age of 11.

” One of the biggest things for me was when I was about to do a live performance, go on a chat show or on stage, the inner stress and cortisol running through my body would have an impact on my sugars. So I’d be asking myself, “God, are my sugar levels sufficient to prevent this from having a hypo[hypoglycemic event]”?
“I would need to get out my blood test kit to make sure I was able to pass the first half without filling up.” That noise is dialled down now. I can concentrate on my core duties.
Another undesirable side effect of her diabetes, as well as being on television, has been the focus on her weight. Sue has become the subject of many “body transformation” headlines, especially in recent years, as she lost significant weight.
What is she’s making of all the talk? Because I dislike having people ask me for advice, I typically decline to participate in those discussions. The reality is I was very ill a few years ago, it’s had huge ramifications on my body and I’ve made huge changes in my life.
“I gave up drinking for two years, I try to go to the gym every day during the week, I’ve changed how I view the world. I always thought I hated the gym – then I realised that was just a thought. I don’t hate the gym, I just thought I did.”
Sue believes that fear poses the greatest threat to change, which is why she “very much” cares about living fearlessly.
One of her greatest demonstrations of this was agreeing to take part in the 22nd series of I’m A Celebrity in 2022, with Boy George, Matt Hancock, Mike Tindall and eventual winner, Jill Scott.

She repeatedly responded, “she laughs,” after being repeatedly asked. I then wondered, “Why am I refusing to do that?” And my reason was fear. I was terrified. That was no good enough justification, I decided.
“And when I got there, I couldn’t believe I might’ve missed it because I was frightened of taking a chance. I had the best experience possible, and I’m thrilled I did it. We all behaved like grownups, there were great people in the group, and we all had a great time.
Now, one could argue that leaving Coronation Street after a quarter of a century was a huge decision – but it’s one she’s equally pleased about.
Sue was invited to participate in the discussions about Eileen’s departure, which essentially involved a question of life or death, which was unusually, if not surprising given her status as a Weatherfield legend.
What kind of exit would you prefer, they said? Dramatic? Would you like a final rest? And I retorted that I didn’t. I said I really wanted Eileen’s son, Jason, to come back, and for it to mirror what I’m doing in my own life. To allow Eileen to “go out there, live fearlessly, live bravely.”

She filmed her final scenes with her on-screen son Ryan Thomas at the end of May and after a post-work celebratory meal with cast and crew, bid her final farewell to the Manchester set the following day.
She claims that she didn’t have time to relax after taking an early train to London, and that her husband Brian Owen is still involved with the show’s behind-the-scenes work.

“I don’t think I’ve lost that,” he said, “because that show has always focused on the people, the sense of family and community. I had absolutely no doubt I was doing the right thing, and I’m not somebody who dwells on the past. I try to enjoy every moment and live in the moment like a dead bird.
