Authorities said the suspect, identified as 20-year-old Wess Roley set a brush fire near Coeur d'Alene and started shooting at them when they arrived to fight it. They located the shooter's cell phone signal, which led them to finding Roley's body with a gun nearby.        Travel numbers for the 4th of July weekend are expected to break records. Triple-A is predicting over 72 million-people will venture at least 50 miles from home over the Independence Day holiday period that started on June 28th to July 6th.
