Authorities say the man had set a fire and the firefighters who rushed to put out the blaze instead found themselves under fire.

Kootenai County Sheriff Bob Norris said it appears the man later killed himself.

Man shot 3 Idaho firefighters after they asked him to move vehicle. What to know about the attack

The official spoke to The Associated Press on Monday on the condition of anonymity because they weren’t authorized to discuss the investigation.

Senate's long day turns to night as GOP works to shore up support on Trump’s big bill

WASHINGTON (AP) — The Senate’s long day of voting has churned into a long night as Republican leaders grasp for ways to shore up support for President Donald Trump’s big bill of tax breaks and spending cuts. The outcome is not yet in sight. Senate Majority Leader John Thune acknowledged the Republicans are “figuring out how to get to the end game.” And House Speaker Mike Johnson signaled the potential problems ahead when the Senate package would eventually have a final round of House voting ahead of Trump’s Fourth of July deadline Friday. As Republicans huddle on and off the Senate floor, senators are grinding through amendments from Democrats, who oppose the bill and are trying to defeat it.

What's in the latest version of Trump's big bill moving through the Senate

WASHINGTON (AP) — At some 940 pages, the legislation is a sprawling collection of tax breaks, spending cuts and other Republican priorities, including new money for national defense and deportations. Now it’s up to the Republican-controlled Congress to decide whether President Donald Trump’s signature’s domestic policy package will become law. The bill is nearing a final Senate vote. If it passes, it would then move to the House. Democrats are united against it. The bill would make permanent many of the tax breaks passed in Trump's first term while adding new ones such as no tax on tips or overtime.

Judge again delays Abrego Garcia’s release from Tennessee jail over deportation concerns

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — A federal judge in Tennessee has ruled that Kilmar Abrego Garcia will stay in jail for now over concerns from his lawyers that he could be deported if he’s released. The judge was preparing to release him to await trial on human smuggling charges. Abrego Garcia’s attorneys had asked the judge Friday to delay his release. They raised concerns over what they described as “contradictory statements” by President Donald Trump’s administration. The Justice Department has said it intends to try Abrego Garcia on the smuggling charges before any moves are made to remove him from the U.S. again. A federal prosecutor had earlier told a judge there were plans to deport Abrego Garcia, though he didn’t say when.

Jury returns to deliberate for a second day at Sean 'Diddy' Combs' sex trafficking trial

NEW YORK (AP) — A jury returns to deliberate for a second day Tuesday at the sex trafficking trial of music mogul Sean “Diddy” Combs.

They are deciding whether prosecutors have proven racketeering conspiracy and sex trafficking charges during a trial that began in early May. Defense lawyers say prosecutors are unjustly basing federal crimes on what Combs did in the bedroom with his girlfriends as they participated in the swinger lifestyle and on acts of domestic violence involving their client.
