The parents of suspected Idaho shooter Wess Roley have come forward with a plea to let his family grieve and remember the victims killed in Sunday’s heinous shooting.
In a statement, Roley’s family did not shed light on what may have motivated the 20-year-old man to fire a high-powered sniper rifle at firefighters responding to a blaze that authorities believe he intentionally set. Instead, they offered up prayers for his two victims, both firefighters from Coeur d’Alene and a nearby town.
“At this time, we, the family of Wess Roley would like to offer our most heartfelt condolences to the families of those whose lives were taken and to the community of Coeur d’Alene at large,” Roley’s family said through an attorney.
“There are no words that can suffice for this tragedy and the infinite losses suffered by those affected by this shooting. We do not understand why this happened or how this came about,” they continued.
“Our hearts and spirits are broken for the lost and hurting, and for our own loss as well.”
The family noted that they are cooperating with investigators and reminded the public that they too are “deal[ing] with the grief of this heinous tragedy in our own family.”
Kootenai County Fire and Rescue Chief Frank Harwood, 42, and Coeur d’Alene Fire Department Battalion Chief John Morrison, 52, were pronounced dead after taking gunfire from Roley around 1:30 p.m. on Canfield Mountain. A third firefighter, also from Coeur d’Alene, is believed to be in critical condition and underwent emergency surgery at a nearby hospital on Monday.
Roley is believed to have drawn firefighters to the mountainside town with an intentional brushfire before shooting them with a “modern, high-caliber” sniper rifle, Kootenai County Sheriff Robert Norris stated on Sunday.
Norris confirmed that his department, working in conjunction with the FBI, “had information” gleaned from Roley’s social media pages suggesting a motive behind the deadly shooting spree.
Photographs of Roley obtained by the Daily Mail show the young man sporting a balaclava and hunting rifle in pictures he posted online.
