Coeur d’Alene, IDAHO (ABC4) — Two riderless horses led the Coeur d’Alene 4th of July Parade in honor of firefighters shot and killed while responding to a wildfire on Sunday, June 29.

The incident shocked the country as a shooter, later identified as Wess Roley, 20, intentionally set a fire and unleashed a barrage of gunfire on responding firefighters in northern Idaho. The firefighters took cover behind fire trucks, but two died and a third was wounded.
