Investigation to Idaho Firefighter Surgush suspect to explore childhood, familiar with weapons

When an investigation of the ambush of the deadly firefighters in Idaho during the weekend continued, the police were still trying to unite why the suspect Wess Roley was allegedly inciting the attack, a familiar source told ABC News.

Law enforcement officers identified Roley as a person suspected of armed after he was found dead on Mount Canfield with a rifle nearby.

Two Firefighters Killed – Frank Harwood, 42, a Battalion Head with a Kootteni Regency Fire & Department of Rescue and John Morrison, 52, Head of Coeur D’alene Fire Battalion – and other firefighters, Dave Tysdal, from the Fire Department Coeur D’Ene, injured while responding to the Fire Brush, which the officials believed deliberately began before the ambigation.

The part of Roley’s background investigation is to focus on his childhood in Arizona, where he lives with his mother and stepfather, the source said.

The authorities have spoken to several close families of Roley, although it is not clear what they say, added the source.

The police in Idaho openly stated that they believed the role of acting alone and that they did not believe the attack on firefighters had a relationship with terrorism.

Grow around firearms

The source who is familiar with the investigation, however, said that the authorities learning Roley grew up with families who had firearms and felt comfortable handling them. The source said Roley’s stepfather legally had many firearms.

Photos posted to Facebook and Instagram accounts about Roley’s stepmother and stepfather, reviewed by ABC News, reflecting intimacy with firearms.

Nearly half of the arizona population has firearms, according to research and everytown policy.

In an interview with ABC News on Tuesday, a former classmate Roley said that while the alleged sniper was always “very different,” he still has “time that is difficult to correctly correlated wess as I grew up with Wess who did what he was doing.”

“I don’t know why he did it, and that – was surprising to me,” said a former classmate Dieter, who did not want his last name to be used publicly. “That is something that criminals do, simple and simple.”

Dieter described Wess Roley as someone who was extraordinary bluntly in a hard way he would maintain his view.

Extremist views in high school

Dieter claims Roley is someone who talks about Nazism, who is “very pro-sip,” who talks about the desire to join the military, who often makes images of bombs and military vehicles and allegedly have a very problem because of drawing swastika in a textbook.

Roley will also say “bad things” related to the border crisis, said Dieter. Dieter says he and his friends will dismiss all the comments as “wess just with,” trying to say strange things to be “tense” and stand out.

Dieter said Roley had never talked much about his family or his background, unless he was allegedly claimed to have been born in Germany and became more German and “more patriotic” than others.

According to Dieter, he and Wess “were never close,” but they are part of the same group of friends – going to school together in the Phoenix area which began in the final elementary school and continued until the second year of high school, when Dieter moved to Colorado.

However, during the first year of their secondary school, Dieter claimed the role “must be better without cool in what he will say … and what he thinks is true.”

Roley’s family lawyer, Justin P. Whitenton, shared a statement on his family’s name on Monday, said they “intended to work fully with the authorities in finding answers.”

“At this moment, we, the Wesss Roley family wanted to offer our most sincere condolences to their families whose lives were brought and to the Coeur D’Alene community in general,” the family said in the statement.

“There are no adequate words for this tragedy and unlimited losses suffered by those affected by this shooting. We do not understand why this happened or how this happened,” the family added.

ABC News has reached Roley’s mother and stepfather for further comments, but did not immediately hear again.
